    Green onion. Green onion have natural onion taste that imparts sweetness to your dish. With green onion, you'll be sure to have a balanced flavor with a savory and toned-down earthy taste.

    Garlic. Garlic adds a pungent and savory taste to your dish. Mind you, it also serves as an aromatic since it gives a really appetizing aroma the dish.

    Seasonings: Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika, and Coriander. Consider using a combination of seasonings such as salt, black pepper, paprika, and coriander since they can all elevate the flavor of your cabbage patties in several ways. They also give your dish a smokey and earthy flavor.

    Vegetable Oil. Fry your patties in vegetable oil. Other cooking oils with a high smoke point will also do. You may use olive oil or avocado oil instead.

    How To Make Cabbage Patties?

    Steps of making the cabbage patties.

    One: In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, eggs, carrots, garlic, green onion, flour and all the seasonings until combined.

    Frying the cabbage patties in the hot oil.

    Two: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium low heat; scoop ¼ cup of the mixture and form a patty shape with your hand then put it in the hot oil and press down on it with a spatula; fry for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium-low heat until golden brown, repeat until you finish all the mixture.

    Top Tips!

    • Use fresh cabbage. If you want your patties to be more flavorful with better texture. Old or wilted cabbage will only make the whole dish taste bitter.
    • Cabbage and carrots alike contain too much water. Drain them both before shredding them so your patties won't be soggy.
    • Let your uncooked patties rest in the fridge for 30 minutes or an hour if you aren't in a rush. This will allow the patties to settle into their form before frying.
    • Grease your pan well, or use a non-stick pan so the patties won't stick to the bottom of the pan when frying. This will also let you avoid ruined texture and shape.
    • Use the food processor or the Mandoline slicer to shred the cabbage and carrot.

    Serving Suggestions

    Cabbage Patties can be enjoyed in different ways, and you'll have endless choices on how you'll be serving them. For an easier fix, you can simply just serve the patties with tangy salsa, sweet chutney, creamy and thick yogurt sauce or sour cream.

    You can also enjoy these patties alongside Healthy Salmon Pasta, Pizza Spaghetti Bake, or Chinese Peanut Butter Chicken! A simple iced tea or soda will already be perfect to wash them down too! Or simply serve it with fresh salad such as Bon Bon Chicken.

    Storage

    Uncooked patties can be refrigerated for three days and frozen for up to three months. However, if your patties are already fried, it's best to just refrigerate them for up to three days. Freezing an already-cooked patty will only make the texture dry.
