1. Prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves, washing it, and dicing it into small, thin pieces. Place the cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
2. Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
3. Finely chop the scallions and mix them into the cabbage and carrots.
4. In a separate small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly.
5. Add the whisked eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the large mixing bowl with the vegetables. Stir everything together until well combined and the mixture holds together.
6. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
7. Using your hands or a spoon, scoop a portion of the cabbage mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) and flatten it into a small patty shape. Place it into the skillet. Repeat, leaving space between each patty in the pan.
8. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning. Add more oil as needed for subsequent batches.
9. Remove the cooked cabbage cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
10. Serve the cabbage cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
