Ingredients
Scale
- 7 cups thinly sliced cabbage (from 1 small head)
- ½ cup finely chopped scallions (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup peeled and grated carrot
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white rice flour
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ cup canola oil, divided (for frying)
- For the Feta Dip:
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Make the Feta Dip: In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, feta, dill, black pepper, red pepper, and salt until mostly smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
- Make the Cabbage Fritters: In a large bowl, mix cabbage, scallions, carrot, and salt. Let sit briefly while prepping other ingredients.
- Stir in eggs, flours, cornstarch, ginger, red pepper, garlic powder, dill, baking powder, baking soda, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
- Heat 2 Tbsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Spoon about ⅓ cup of the mixture per fritter into the skillet. Flatten each to ~¼ inch thickness.
- Cook 3–4 fritters at a time, ~3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked fritters to a wire rack and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
- Garnish with scallions and serve warm with feta dip.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for even cabbage slices.
- Adjust red pepper for desired heat.
- Keep fritters warm in a low oven if making batches.
