🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 6 slices Bacon
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Remove any damaged or tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it into thin, noodle-like strips.

2. Peel and mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

3. In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

4. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add the olive oil and butter to the same skillet and heat over medium heat until melted and combined.

5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

6. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic mixture. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender but still slightly crisp.

7. Season the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

8. Add the crumbled bacon back to the skillet and toss with the cabbage noodles. Cook for an additional minute to warm everything through.

9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cabbage Noodles with Crispy Bacon!
