Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your desired amount of cabbage. For a wonderfully crisp and sweet flavor, it’s recommended to use a generous portion. First, cut the cabbage into bite-sized, manageable pieces. Slice the bacon into similar-sized pieces as well.
Step 2
The saltiness from the bacon is usually sufficient for seasoning, so make sure not to skimp on the bacon. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until it’s lightly golden brown. Allowing some of the bacon fat to render out is key.
Step 3
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir-fry it together with the bacon. The cabbage will be coated in the rendered bacon fat, adding a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 4
Once the cabbage starts releasing moisture, increase the heat to high and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. The trick is to cook it just until the cabbage becomes slightly translucent and still retains its crisp texture – avoid overcooking, which makes it mushy. No extra seasoning is typically needed due to the bacon’s saltiness, and while the preparation is incredibly simple, the taste is absolutely outstanding.
Step 5
Transfer the well-stirred cabbage and bacon mixture to a plate for serving. It’s ready! Try making this dish when you need a quick meal or as a delicious side dish. It’s best enjoyed warm right after cooking.
