Steps:
- Place the shredded cabbage in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- Drain the cabbage thoroughly and let it cool slightly. You can also squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the grated carrot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with the softened cabbage. Beat the egg and add it to the cabbage and vegetable mixture.
- Add the rice flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture is thoroughly combined and has a thick, sticky consistency.
- Take a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. You need enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet and come up the sides of the balls slightly. Carefully place the balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Cook the balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them and ensure they cook evenly. Remove the cooked balls from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve the cabbage pancake balls warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce like Sour Cream and Garlic Dip, yogurt, or a tangy dipping sauce.
