Step 6
Heat refined vegetable oil in a skillet, add a full tablespoon of cabbage batter for each piece, and cook over medium heat until done, about 3–4 minutes per side. Turn the fritters often so they cook evenly and keep their beautiful emerald color. Be sure to place the finished fritters on paper towels to remove as much oil as possible.
