Instructions
For the Cabbage Bacon Fritters:
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup green onions, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 cloves garlic, 6 pieces bacon, 3/4 cup gluten free flour blend, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari sauce until it forms a thick paste.
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet heated over medium high heat.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter into the hot pan. I was able to cook 2-3 fritters at a time. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until browned.
For the Sriracha Mayo:
While the fritters are cooking, make the sriracha mayo. Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon gluten-free tamari sauce and 2 teaspoons sriracha in a small bowl.
Stir until combined. Taste and adjust any seasonings.
Drizzle sriracha mayo over the cabbage bacon fritters before serving.
Notes
Cook bacon ahead of time, either in a skillet or in the oven.
Shredded cabbage can be prepped up to 2 days ahead.
Sriracha mayo keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
If you're gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free tamari.
