Instructions

  1. Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing its ingredients (sour cream, soy sauce, and hot sauce) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the raw cabbage, scallions, and almond flour.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic.
  4. Stir the egg mixture into the cabbage mixture. Mix well.
  5. Heat a nonstick double burner griddle or two large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to each skillet and brush to coat.
  6. Scoop the mixture onto the griddle using a 4-tablespoon scoop (or measuring cup) per pancake. Flatten with a spatula.
  7. Cook the pancakes until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  8. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • It's fine to use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix rather than chop a whole cabbage. I do recommend giving the mix an extra quick chop, especially if it's coarsely shredded. You want fairly fine shreds in this recipe.
  • These pancakes make an excellent appetizer or side dish, but they are also hearty enough to serve as a meatless main dish if you serve four per person instead of two. Sometimes, I serve them with fried eggs for a delicious meatless meal.
  • The spicy dipping sauce is phenomenal. Please make it and use it! Without it, the pancakes are very good. With it, they are amazing.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I reheat them in the microwave or eat them cold. You can also freeze them in freezer bags, separating layers with wax paper.
