Garlic butter frizzled cabbage FAQ:
Cook the cabbage for about 10-15 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. You're aiming for a tender texture with browning and crisp edges.
Green cabbage is commonly used for this dish, but you can also use Savoy cabbage for a sweeter flavor and more tender texture.
Yes, store leftover frizzled cabbage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore some crispiness.
You can use fresh minced garlic instead. Use about 1-2 cloves, but sauté them briefly in the butter to avoid burning before adding the cabbage.

Cooking Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to preheat the pan before adding the cabbage to ensure even cooking.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
