First, bacon is cooked in a large pan until crispy, releasing flavorful fat. The onion is then sautΓ©ed in that same pan until soft and slightly golden. Garlic is added briefly to release its aroma without burning.
Next comes the cabbage. It may look like a lot at first, but it cooks down quickly. The cabbage is fried until tender, soaking up the bacon flavor while developing lightly browned edges. Season simply, adjust to taste, and cook until everything is well combined.
