Simple Cabbage Pancakes: A Delicious Side Dish Recipe
Learn how to make delicious and easy cabbage pancakes with this simple recipe! They are perfect as a side dish or a snack. The video demonstrates the process from 05:25 onwards, showing you how to achieve the perfect texture and flavor.
Main Ingredients- 150g cabbage (approx. 1/4 of a medium cabbage)
- 1/3 carrot (approx. 30g)
- 1/4 onion (approx. 30g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the cabbage. Then, finely shred it into thin, julienne-like strips. This thin shredding ensures a tender texture and even cooking. For an even better result, you can sprinkle a pinch of coarse salt over the shredded cabbage, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then squeeze out any excess moisture. This step helps to remove any bitterness and enhances the crispness.
Step 2
Next, finely shred the carrot and onion just like you did with the cabbage. The carrot will add a lovely color, while the onion will contribute sweetness and depth of flavor, elevating the overall taste of the cabbage pancakes. Remember, the thinner you shred them, the better they will integrate into the pancakes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Crack in the 2 eggs and add the pinch of salt for seasoning. Mix everything together thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until well combined. Ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the egg mixture is key to making pancakes that hold their shape well when cooked.
Step 4
Now it’s time to cook the delicious cabbage pancakes! Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spoon portions of the batter onto the hot pan, shaping them into small, flat, round pancakes. Cook until one side is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure the pancakes are cooked through. Enjoy your homemade, savory cabbage pancakes!
