Cabbage Pancake with Red Pepper Sauce
These little tasty morsels can be an appetizer or a light meal. This recipe uses cabbage, but do not hesitate to change it up a bit. You can use kale, beets and/or Swiss chard. Use what you have on hand. The Korean influence of the red pepper sauce really kicks up the flavor to a new level. If you are not into much heat, dipping the pancakes into soy sauce is fabulous as well.
