How Do You Fry Your Cabbage?

Hi there Single Mommy! I love cabbage but haven't tried frying it! Sounds delicious. Thank you very much for giving me an idea. I will try and fry some within this week. I'm sure my family would love it too.

I don't really like cabbage when it's cooked all that much. I prefer my cabbage in something more like cole slaw. I do have a 'cheater's version of corned beef and cabbage that I love to make, though, and it's very easy. For that I cut up the cabbage in big chunks and put it in my large electric skillet with a little oil, onion and tossing in a little pepper. I don't add salt since the corned beef is salty enough. Oh, before starting that, I cook some potatoes and carrots until not quite done and cut up and add them to the cabbage. After those flavors are allowed to meld a bit, I add plain old corned beef from a can, one can or two depending on how much of the other I've already got in there. I break it up a bit with my wooden spoon and mix into the other ingredients, just enough to warm it through. I don't like it to get too mushy. This is a super simple, quick and easy meal and there's never any leftovers.

I never had fried cabbage. I have always boiled mine with potatoes and corn beef. You gave me an idea, I think I'll try that sometime soon.

looks great I like to make a cabbage stir fry with carrots, onions and garlic too. I usually put half a chicken cube for flavor and a few drops of sesame oil for added flavor It's also nice to alternate this with oyster sauce. Yum!

I have a recipe that I got from another of my online friends it is a one skillet meal with spiced potatoes, cabbage and ham. Ingredients are 2 tbs. margarine, 1 onion (chopped), 1 small head of cabbage, coarsely chopped, 1/4 c.water, 3 large potatoes, scrubbed and sliced, 1 dash papriks, 2 cups cubed cooked ham. Directions: in a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions in the margarine. When tender add cabbage and stir. Pour water over, cover and simmer gently on medium low for ten minutes. Add potatoes and mix. Cover again and allow to simmer for ten more minutes. Additional water may be needed. Sprinkle seasoning salt and paprika over cabbage and potatoes. allow to simmer covered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until cabbage is soft and potatoes are nearly cooked. Mix ham in and finish cooking until ham is hot and potatoes are done.

We always have cabbage for New Years and this year I fixed fried cabbage with fried potatoes and polish sausage. Not sure what it is called but man is it good! LOL

When i make cabbage and noodles, i parboil the cabbage first then chop it up put in butter and fry it on low with the noodles adn i never had a problem burning it. So try that!

Um yeah I love fried cabbage as well, I love to fry it up with shredded bacon pieces, onion and some salt & pepper sometimes I even put some garlic in it, we have it this way when we cook a BBQ. Just talking about it now is making me want some I think we will be having fried cabbage with our tea tonight......

Wow! I've never heard of cabbage being fried. I fry potatoes but never tried frying cabbages. I will try it sometime. Thanks for the idea!

I love fried cabbage, although when I buy it I usually buy a medium size one, so that I can make it again at another time, since my husband does not like cabbage. I usually slice my cabbage wash and drain it. I fry bacon, when it is done, I add the cabbage to the bacon drippings, cover and let it do it's thing, sometimes I add onions in it.

I love fried cabbage with just a little butter, salt and pepper. I like it best if it's been boiled first, though it depends on my mood and what else I'm eating. I also love it chopped and stir-fried with carrots and onions, then mixed with brown rice and sprinkled with sunflower seeds. Top the whole thing off with fresh, unsalted butter, and I'm in heaven.

Yummy! I too love fried cabbage. Here's my favourite way of preparing it: Fry up several pieces of bacon but don't drain out all of the fat, in fact, use it to fry up some chopped some onions. When that's all nice and sauteed, then add some rough chopped head of cabbage. Just before it's done to your liking, you can add some soy sauce. Yummy...even my daughter LOVES it and that's saying alot! *Pleiades

i love cabbage . the only way i have it fried is first steamed with sliced onions , them mixed with mashed potatoes .. fry it really well so its brown ... great with lots of other dishes or on its own .. i like cabbage with a lot of black pepper .. I will try the fried recipe .. sounds good . thanxs *

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who like fried cabbage. I love cabbage. I can eat cabbage in any form, but fresh fried cabbage is the best. HUGS

I also really like cabbage - I do not have it fried very often as I will usually steam it. Fried I like to use a bit of bacon grease - I also like to add sliced onions which I like to have get browned just like the cabbage. sometimes I will leave bacon crumbles in with the cabbage. I like my steamed cabbage to be tender crisp and sometimes will add potato slices into the skillet as well or sweet potato slivers. also good to add some cream of mushroom soup worchesterchire sauce and perhaps even some sauted kielbasa or browned ground turkey or beef. with this a little bit of mustard works as does some caraway seed.

I love cabbage, too. You cook it the way I really love it. Bubble and Squeak is good, also. A Scottish friend taught me how to make it. This recipe is most like I make it: http://www.anenglishmaninamerica.co.uk/british-bubble-and-squeak-recipe.php I also make a one-pot dinner; I use pork ribs, the country-style ones; brown them in vegetable oil. Cover with water and cook until almost done. Add chunks of potatoes and onions, add more water if needed and cook until almost tender. Then quarter a cabbage and put it on top of everything else; cover and cook until it's tender. Makes a great winter supper with some fresh bread. Those are my two favorite cabbage dishes. Hope you get to try one.

Hi, fried cabbage is a great dish - I cook mine with chopped garlic, dried shrimps and oyster sauce. I also use cabbage (or Chinese cabbage) for soups. I cook this in the slow-cooker with meat bones, red dates and seasonings; and the soup turns out delicious and sweet!

I have never tried fried cabbage. I normally boil it. My favorite food with cabbage is stuffed cabbage rolls. I also like to make corned beef and cabbage. These are two meals that I brought to my kids from my childhood.

I like to add onions and fry them briefly before I add the cabbage. SOmetimes I put in othe vegetables too, depending what I have around that needs using (could be practically any veg, carrots, broccoli, even turnio sliced really thin - I guess I often do it a bit like a stir fry and add garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Other times I will go for butter (naughty) instead of oil and add chopped fresh herbs if I have them to hand - chives, pasley and basil or marjoram work well. Mmmm I am beginning to feel hungry. But also it makes a big difference what kind of cabbage - I like savoy and some of the lighter cabbages like the pointed ones. If I have one of the heavier duty ones I find them a bit hard going and have to slice them up really fine!
