The big reveal of this fried cabbage recipe!

Here's the finished recipe! What do you think? We loved it. The asparagus was mild enough that it added color and not too much flavor. It worked well with the cabbage and bacon. I did have to add a little more salt at the end to bring out the flavor more.

Tips about this fried cabbage recipe:

Keep in mind that salt is optional. It depends on the bacon and what type of bacon you use.

Equipment can have a large impact on how a recipe turns out. I used a regular stainless steel Dutch oven on a gas range.
