Step by Step: How to Make Cabbage Egg Patties

- Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and sticky enough to hold together.
2: Fry Until Golden
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop the mixture into the pan using a spoon, flatten gently into patties.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
3: Serve and Enjoy

- Serve hot with your favorite dip or enjoy plain—they’re that good.
