Some even add it to chicken recipes. Cabbage tortillas are also famous among Asians. This blog presents fried cabbage with Bacon and Onion.

What should I do to keep bacon crunchy?
- If you want to preserve the taste and crispiness of bacon then take the bacon out of the pan while cabbage is being cooked. If you don’t do this and cook bacon along with cabbage then it will turn soggy. Soggy bacon is not easy to eat and is not appealing.
- To get some bacon flavour in the cabbage, you can leave bacon grease in the skillet and then cook cabbage. It will infuse the same meaty flavour. When most of the cabbage moisture dries, then add in bacon. The remaining moisture will be absorbed once you add bacon.
How is leftover fried cabbage stored?
- If some fried cabbage remains then you can store it for later use. Use an air-tight container and then refrigerate it for 4 days. Don’t store for more days.
- Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Onions is the best addition to the lunchtime menu. You can serve it with tortilla or sauces or boiled rice. Whatever combination you like, try it.
