👉4 Tips for the Best Fried Cabbage:

▶️1. Choose a fresh, firm cabbage – It cooks better and has a sweeter flavor.

▶️2. Don't skip the bacon grease – It's key to that rich, smoky flavor.

▶️3. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice at the end for a little zing.

▶️4. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving – the flavors deepen as it cools slightly.
