  2. I’m vegan. What can be substituted for the eggs?

    November 11, 2019
    1. Ground flax seeds are a common egg substitute. One tablespoon of ground flax seeds with three tablespoons of water substitute for one egg.

    2. I think apple sauce…

    How much in advance do you think the batter can be made before frying? (To be more specific, if I make it early in the afternoon is it ok to fry for dinner?)

    1. The Cooking Foodie says:

      Yes, you can fry them few hours after preparing them.

    2. Yes did this works great just air on the side of caution for the dinner portion. It does build up liquid the longer it stands. After I mixing it up, try putting the remainder back in colander & in a bowl.

  4. These look delicious. I see that the Yield says 6, does that mean 6 little patties or 6 servings? And if it is 6 servings, how many patties per serving? Thank you.

  6. What is Semolina, and where can I buy it?

    January 13, 2020
    1. I think its similar to bread crumbs.

      January 18, 2020
      1. semolina is pretty much the same as flour only higher glutton.

        January 23, 2020
      2. Google is your friend…

        October 26, 2021
    2. Semolina flour is just a coarser flour.
      You can find it in just about any supermarket.

  8. Dolores Delano says:

    I just made this. ..used white flour. .delicious….used greek yogurt as a dip……the water l used to boil the cabbage ..will be used layer this week for cabbage doip

    April 21, 2020
    1. When I read your comment Dolores, I decided to use that water and added all of my vegetable trimmings from the freezer to make vegetable broth. That was a great idea!

  9. Can I substitute bread crumbs for semolina ?
    Same measure?

  10. Hello, I am planning on making these great looking patties. How much cabbage?

    October 23, 2020
  11. Lisa Pulver says:

    This was fantastic! My guy won’t eat cabbage, but he didn’t know what it was and thought it was some kind of potato and ate his share without any complaint – haven’t been able to get him to eat any other cabbage dish. I will be making again, maybe with more semolina or breadcrumbs to better hold the patty shape. Recommend highly!

  13. These directions kinda suck. Glad there was a video.

    December 27, 2020
  14. made this … very tasty. But next time I will use less thyme.

    February 9, 2021
  15. I make these quite often. I substitute semolina with almond flour. I also add bacon and chipotle pepper. We mix yogurt and Cholula green pepper sauce for the dip. Delish

    October 12, 2021
    1. This sounds better

      March 16, 2022
  16. these are delish and filling

    can be frozen

    June 27, 2022
    1. Have u tried it yet? If so how are they after frozen? I assume u’d need to place paper between the patties? Finally any special heating instructions?

      September 15, 2022
  19. We LOVED these! Everyone thought they were an adventure in salmon patties! The first time around I added 3 strips of bacon crumbs & the thin carrot sticks. Fabulous
    Then we added a can of Salmon to it ( well drained & flakes of course) with another veggie & a fruit dinner was served. Thank you, Thank you

    Can’t wait

  21. How the heck do you make these stick together? I ended up with something more like hashbrowns. Still good, but dang – not what I wanted.

    Though the taste is fine and I was sticking exactly to the recipie instruction,there are too much liquids and they fall apart while forming and as well while frying them.Even adding semolina does not help much.
    Maybe adding much oat meal would help, still the veggie taste will be lost…
