Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, it's best to use a green cabbage. It has a milder flavor than red cabbage and will hold its shape better during frying.
Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
Season the cabbage well: Be generous with the salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the cabbage, make sure to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the cabbage will steam instead of fry.
Cook the cabbage until it's tender: The cabbage should be cooked until it's tender but still has a little bit of crunch to it. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy.

Conclusion:

This St. Patrick's Day Fried Cabbage is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with simple ingredients and can be ready in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
