Fried Cabbage with Eggs

Fried Cabbage With Eggs

Fried cabbage with eggs is a very common dish. As it is common, every family will have their own way/style of cooking it. I can recall that when I was a teenager, I visited my classmate and spent the day in her home. She had to cook dinner that evening, and the vegetable dish that she made was Fried Cabbage With Eggs.

The way she cooked it was slightly different from mine. She fried the cabbage until it was really soft and slightly dark. It was lovely. So from that time on, I cook mine the same way.

So here is the recipe.
