Season and Finish:
Season with salt, black pepper, paprika (if using), and sugar (if using). Stir well to combine.
Add the vinegar and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Return the cooked bacon to the pan (if using) and stir to combine.
Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
Tips:
Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian version, use vegetable oil instead of bacon and consider adding a bit of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness.
Add-ins: You can also add cooked sausage or ham for a heartier dish.
Storage: Fried cabbage keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
This Fried Cabbage is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses. Enjoy this comforting and satisfying side dish! 🥬🍽️
