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.
