  • Cut the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the sauce better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the cabbage in batches if necessary to avoid steaming rather than frying.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the cabbage plenty of room to cook and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Cook the cabbage until it's tender-crisp: You want the cabbage to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Use a combination of vinegar and sugar: This will give the sauce a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors.
  • Add the bacon at the end: This will prevent it from getting overcooked and tough.
  • Serve the cabbage warm: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
