White cabbage in batter in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. It is better to use fresh, juicy and young white cabbage; the head should be tight. We clean the cabbage from the top dry and dirty leaves, cut it into pieces no more than 1 centimeter thick and about 5-7 cm wide. If desired, of course, the cabbage can be “cut” differently, for example, divided into leaves and cut into squares . But it seems to me that these pieces taste better.

2. STEP 2

   

   In order for the cabbage to be crispy, but at the same time soft and tasty, without the specific bitterness inherent in fresh white cabbage, it needs to be blanched. To do this, lower the cabbage pieces one by one into boiling salted water and keep on the fire for several minutes. Remove the cabbage from the water with a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain all the liquid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the batter. Beat a chicken egg into a deep bowl, add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, beat the ingredients with a fork or whisk until the white of the chicken egg is completely dispersed.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add flour to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes homogeneous. If desired, you can add any other spices and seasonings to the mixture, for example, dried basil or finely chopped fresh herbs, they will give the finished dish a pleasant flavor.

5. STEP 5

   

   Dip each piece of cabbage into the batter so that it is covered with the mixture on all sides. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it well. Place cabbage pieces in hot oil and fry them over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.

6. STEP 6

   

   Remove the battered cabbage from the frying pan; you can first place the pieces on a plate lined with paper napkins so that excess oil is absorbed into the paper. Transfer the cabbage to a serving platter and serve it to the table. This appetizer is good both hot with sour cream and herbs, and cold. Bon appetit!

Very tasty and simple recipe! Also useful. By the way, you can add sesame seeds to the batter and the result will be absolutely amazing! I have already added it to my cookbook. Actually, who came up with this wonderful service?! This is a miracle, it’s always at hand and you won’t forget to add anything to the dish! The only thing I haven’t found on the site yet is the cuisine of the peoples of Russia.
