Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and swirl to coat the entire surface. Using a tablespoon, scoop up the cabbage batter and drop six rounds onto the skillet. Gently flatten the cabbage fritters with a spatula. Pan-fry for about one minute on each side, until golden brown but not burned.

Turn the cabbage fritters over and pan-fry the other side until golden brown. Repeat the same steps until you use up all the batter.
