Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15–20 minutes

Yield: 8 fritters

Servings: 2 (4 fritters each)

Protein: 16g per serving

Ingredients

For the Fritters:
1/2 large green cabbage, shredded into thin strips
3 green onions, shredded
4 whole eggs
1/4 to 1/2 cup egg whites (based on amount of cabbage)
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon avocado oil (for cooking)

For Topping (optional):
2–3 poached eggs per person
Soy-chili sauce
Kimchi

Instructions

Shred half of one large cabbage into thin strips and place in a mixing bowl.
Shred 3 green onions and add them to the cabbage.
In a separate bowl, whisk 4 eggs and 1/4 cup egg whites until combined.
Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot to the cabbage mixture and mix until coated.
Season with salt and pepper, then toss again.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and mix thoroughly.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add avocado oil.
Form a handful of the mixture into a ball shape, then flatten it onto the hot pan.
Cook each side 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
Serve hot and top with poached eggs, soy-chili sauce, and kimchi.

Pro Tips

Boost protein to 30g+: Top each serving with 3 poached eggs (6g protein per egg).
Press the cabbage mixture firmly to help fritters hold together.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches for maximum crispiness.
Ensure the pan is fully heated before cooking for the best browning.
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra richness.
Prep the cabbage mixture the night before for faster mornings.
