Frying cabbage can be a delicious way to prepare this healthy vegetable, and there is a trick to make it crispy and flavorful without adding water or overcooking the oil.
Here are some steps to follow:
1. Start by washing and slicing the cabbage into thin strips or bite-size pieces.
2. Heat up a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil (such as vegetable oil or olive oil) to the pan.
3. When the oil is hot, add the cabbage to the pan and spread it out in an even layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow the cabbage to fry and not steam.
4. Let the cabbage cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. This will allow the cabbage to develop a nice crispy texture on the bottom.
5. After 2-3 minutes, use a spatula to flip the cabbage and cook it on the other side. Repeat this process until the cabbage is golden brown and crispy on all sides.
6. Once the cabbage is cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove it from the pan and place it on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
7. Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like, such as garlic powder or paprika.
This simple trick of not overcrowding the pan and allowing the cabbage to fry in hot oil without adding water will result in a deliciously crispy and flavorful dish that is perfect as a side dish or a topping for salads or sandwiches. Enjoy!
