Here’s a simple and tasty Cabbage Fritters recipe—crispy outside, soft inside 🥬✨
Cabbage Fritters
Ingredients (makes 8–10 fritters)

Instructions
- Prep cabbage
- Place shredded cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle with a little salt.

- Make batter
- In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, green onions, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Mix until it holds together; add a bit more flour if batter is too wet.

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Spoon 2–3 tbsp of batter per fritter into the skillet, flatten slightly.
- Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
