Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Cabbage Pancake
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped scallions. Toss gently until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, water, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter over the vegetable mixture and fold until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add oil. Wait until the oil is shimmering.
  5. Add half of the cabbage mixture, pressing it down to form a pancake about 1 inch thick. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until equally golden and crunchy.
  7. Remove the pancake, repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
  8. Slice the cooked pancakes into wedges, add toppings and serve hot.
