Instructions:
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped onions, and minced garlic. This trifecta forms the flavorful base of your fritters.
Step 2
To the cabbage mix, add eggs, flour, salt, ground red pepper, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix thoroughly until evenly combined. Eggs and flour act as binders, while seasonings unveil the vibrant veggie flavors.
Step 4
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, about ½ inch (1.25 cm) deep, and heat over medium flame. The oil should sizzle when a bit of the mixture is added, but not smoke.
Step 5
Using a spoon or your hands, shape the cabbage mixture into patties. Carefully place them in the hot oil and gently flatten with a spatula.
Step 6
Fry until golden brown and crispy on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Once perfectly fried, transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. These savory delights are best savored hot, boasting a crispy exterior and a flavorful, tender interior.
