Bắp Cải Chiên (Cabbage Fritters)
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – these Vietnamese Cabbage Fritters are the perfect comfort food that you can whip up tonight!
Start by finely shredding the cabbage and grating the carrot. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the flour, water, salt, black pepper, and chopped green onion to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to submerge the fritters halfway.
Once the oil is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the fritter batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if needed.
Fry each fritter for about 5-6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let them drain on a paper towel.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce or garnishes of your choice, such as chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
