Introducing a diet-friendly cabbage pancake that’s incredibly satisfying and delightfully crunchy! The combination of crisp cabbage and tender egg creates an amazing texture and flavor. This easy-to-make recipe ensures anyone can enjoy a healthy and delicious meal effortlessly.
Essential Ingredients- 1/6 head of cabbage (approx. 250-300g)
- 3 fresh eggs
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 pinches of salt (approx. 1/4 tsp)
- Olive oil (or cooking oil), as needed
- Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s important to wash the cabbage thoroughly. You can soak it briefly in a vegetable wash solution or rinse it carefully under running water.
Step 2
After washing, thinly shred the cabbage. Thin shreds will mix better with the egg and cook more evenly. Once shredded, place the cabbage in a colander to drain excess water thoroughly.
Step 3
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry quickly. Once the cabbage turns a vibrant color and begins to soften slightly, add 2 pinches of salt and a dash of pepper for seasoning.
Step 4
Since this dish is great for dieting, it’s best to keep the seasoning light. Add just enough salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Adding pepper is highly recommended for its aromatic contribution.
Step 5
When the cabbage is just tender-crisp (cooked for about 1-2 minutes), reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack 3 eggs over the cabbage.
Step 6
Using chopsticks or a spoon, gently break and spread the eggs over the cabbage, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Think of it as gently tucking the cabbage in with a blanket of egg.
Step 7
Keep the heat on low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg is fully set. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
Lift the lid to check; once the egg on top is completely cooked, turn off the heat. A golden-brown cooked egg will look appetizing.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the cooked cabbage and egg pancake to a plate. Garnish with parsley flakes or red pepper flakes according to your preference for extra flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy this delightful cabbage and egg pancake with its wonderful crispy texture and savory taste!
