Notes
➔ Use a heavy skillet to distribute heat very evenly.
➔ Do not wash cabbage until right before you chop.
➔ Cut cabbage into uniform strips for even cooking time.
➔ Keep the bacon fat for the best smoky flavor.
➔ Add a pinch of sugar to balance the salt.
➔ Use fresh garlic instead of powder for better taste.
➔ Red pepper flakes add a nice spicy kick here.
➔ Don't overcook the cabbage or it becomes too soggy.
