1. Prepare the Tofu:
Drain the tofu well and crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
Finely shred the cabbage and chop the mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic, and green onions.
Add the shredded cabbage, chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic, and green onions to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
Add the beaten eggs, corn starch, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the tofu and vegetable mixture.
Mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together when formed into patties.
4. Shape the Patties:
Form the mixture into small patties, approximately the size of your palm.
5. Cook the Patties:
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches, cooking each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy (about 8 minutes per batch).
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a splash of soy sauce or your favorite condiment to taste.
7. Serve:
Serve the cabbage and tofu patties hot, accompanied by the dipping sauce on the side.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair the patties with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad.
These patties also complement a tangy dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-ginger dressing.

If the mixture is too wet, add more corn starch or breadcrumbs to help bind the patties.
For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin.
