Best 5 Cabbage Pancakes Recipes

MASHED POTATO AND CABBAGE PANCAKES

Steps:

• To prepare the cabbage, remove the outer leaves and quarter a small head or 1/2 of a larger head. Core and place in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water. Steam 10 to 15 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife or skewer. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then squeeze out water, and chop fine. Mix with the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the chives, baking powder, marjoram if using, salt, pepper, and flour. Beat the eggs and stir in.
• Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot carefully scoop up heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture and use a spoon or spatula to ease them out of the spoon into the pan. Gently flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula but don't worry if this is hard to do - if they stick -- because when you flip them over you can flatten them into pancakes. Brown on the first side - about 2 or 3 minutes - and using a spatula, flip the mounds over and gently push them down so that they will be shaped like pancakes. Brown on the other side and remove to a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining potato mixture, adding oil to the pan as necessary.

CLASSIC OKONOMIYAKI (JAPANESE CABBAGE AND PORK PANCAKES)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine hondashi with 1 cup water and whisk until dissolved. Whisk in eggs until well combined. Add flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and whisk until smooth. Fold in cabbage, scallions and ginger until well incorporated.
• In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the batter, spreading cabbage mixture into an even 6-inch round about 1-inch thick (resist the urge to push down on the mixture). Arrange half the pork belly over the cabbage, slightly overlapping. Cook over medium-low until pancake is set and golden brown underneath, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and carefully flip pancake by inverting onto a plate then slipping back into the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown on second side, pancake is cooked through in center and pork is lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer pancake, pork side up, onto a large plate. Wipe out skillet and repeat with remaining oil, batter and pork belly.
• Drizzle pancakes with okonomi sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise, then top with a handful of shaved bonito and nori. Serve warm.

CABBAGE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare pancakes: Thinly slice 4 scallions and set aside for pancakes. Thinly slice remaining scallions and set aside for garnish.
• Whisk eggs, flour, water, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in cabbage, carrot, and 4 sliced scallions until well combined.
• Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 4 scoops cabbage mixture (about 1/3 cup each) into the hot skillet and spread into thin circles. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and golden and crisp on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil to the skillet and use remaining batter to make 4 more pancakes. Sprinkle all pancakes with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Prepare Sriracha-mayo: Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha together in a small bowl until well combined.
• Prepare dipping sauce: Whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil together until well combined.
• Drizzle pancakes with Sriracha-mayo and garnish with reserved sliced scallions. Serve with dipping sauce.

CABBAGE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix in medium bowl potatoes, slaw, egg whites and pepper.
• Spray large nonstick frypan with veggie cooking spray and heat over medium high.
• Scoop and pack batter into 1/2 cup measure, gently invert cup into frypan.
• Repeat with second pancake, drizzle any juices from bowl over pancakes.
• When batter begins to sizzle, gently press down with spatula to flatten into pancakes that are 1/2 inch thick and aboout 4 inches in diameter.
• Cook until pancake browns on one side, about 5 minutes.
• Turn pancakes, cook on second side until pancake browns, 4 to 5 minutes.
• If desired, top each pancake with either 2 tablespoon applesauce or 1 tablespoon sour cream.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH CONFIT DUCK AND RED-CABBAGE BEET SLAW

Steps:

• Make slaw:
• Pulse cabbage, in batches if necessary, in a food processor until finely chopped, then transfer to a bowl and add 3/4 teaspoon salt and liquid from pickled beets. Finely chop beets (with a knife) and stir into cabbage mixture along with vinegar. Let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
• Make pancakes while slaw stands:
• Remove skin and fat from duck leg and finely chop them (reserve meat), then cook in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and skin is golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer duck skin with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet. Meanwhile, remove duck meat from bone, discarding bone, and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add onion to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Combine onion, duck meat, and reserved skin in a large bowl.
• Peel potatoes and shred using large holes of a box grater. Squeeze potatoes by handfuls to eliminate excess moisture, then add to duck mixture along with egg, pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, stirring until combined.
• Spread 1/2 cup bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. Using a scant 1/4 cup potato mixture for each pancake, make 12 mounds on crumbs. Coat mounds with remaining 1/2 cup crumbs and flatten into 3-inch patties.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Using a slotted spatula, gently shake off excess crumbs from each potato pancake, then fry in 2 batches, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately, with slaw.
