Ingredients:

For the Fritters:

  • 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about ½ medium head)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 3-4 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil for frying

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and sliced scallions. Mix well.
  2. Make the batter: Add the eggs, flour, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to the vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and the batter sticks together.
  3. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat 3-4 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan.
  4. Fry the fritters: Scoop about ¼ cup of the cabbage mixture and flatten it slightly with a spoon. Add to the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  5. Make the dipping sauce: While the fritters are frying, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt, sriracha, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust the heat by adding more sriracha to taste.
  6. Serve: Once the fritters are crispy and golden, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with the spicy garlic dipping sauce on the side.

These crispy cabbage fritters are a fantastic way to elevate simple vegetables into a flavorful, satisfying dish.
