Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the cabbage
-
Thinly shred the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2 — Mix the batter
-
Add eggs, flour, yogurt, sliced green onion, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until evenly combined and slightly thick.
Step 3 — Heat the pan
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until warm.
Step 4 — Cook the pancake
-
Scoop the cabbage mixture into the skillet and press into a round pancake shape. Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden underneath.
Step 5 — Flip and finish
-
Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes until fully set and crispy.
Step 6 — Slice and serve
-
Transfer to a plate, slice into wedges, and top with optional soy sauce or chili flakes.
Note
The key to perfect cabbage pancakes is thin slicing and medium heat. Cooking too fast prevents the inside from setting, while cooking too low limits crispiness. The yogurt adds moisture and protein while keeping the center tender.
Because cabbage naturally releases water, don’t overmix—just combine until incorporated.
