Main Ingredients

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
✨ Preparing Your Ingredients: Start by thoroughly washing and preparing all your fresh ingredients.
Step 2
🔪 Get Your Knife Skills Ready! Slice the cabbage into approximately 1cm thick strips. Cut the bacon into similar 1.5cm pieces. Aim for bite-sized pieces that aren’t too thin, so they don’t break apart easily during cooking.
Step 3
🍳 Sizzle and Sauté! Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced bacon and cook until it becomes slightly crispy and renders its fat. Once the bacon fat starts to release, add the minced garlic and chopped scallions. Sauté together until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
🔥 High Heat, Big Flavor! As the bacon begins to cook through and turn golden, add the prepared cabbage and soy sauce to the pan. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry quickly. The key here is to cook the cabbage just enough to retain its crispness, so don’t overcook it. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes on high heat.
Step 5
😋 The Finishing Touch! Once the cabbage is tender-crisp, taste the stir-fry. If needed, add a tiny bit more salt or soy sauce to adjust the seasoning to your preference. Finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper for an extra layer of flavor. You’re all set!
Step 6
🎉 Voilà! Your super simple bacon and cabbage stir-fry is ready in just about 10 minutes! It’s a fantastic side dish to enjoy with a bowl of warm rice. Enjoy this delicious and speedy meal!
