1

Finely chop the cabbage, add salt, and massage it. Let it sit for over 15 minutes to meld flavors, then squeeze out excess water.

2

In a bowl, combine ground pork, bread crumbs, skim milk, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until sticky.

3

Add the cabbage to the mixture and combine thoroughly. Divide into portions and shape into balls by tapping them between your palms to remove air.

4

Prepare a batter by mixing flour, egg, and water. Dip the shaped balls in the batter, then coat with bread crumbs, and fry them in oil heated to 170°C.

5

After about 2 minutes, flip the balls and repeat this 3 times, frying for a total of 7 minutes.
