I am a huge cabbage fan. I just love it and there so many amazing ways to prepare it. Do you like cabbage? If so you need to try this easy fifteen minute recipe. There are numerous health benefits to cabbage. It is high in fiber, low in calories and carbs, and high in vitamins K and C.
How do you make Cabbage Stir Fry with Bacon and Sausage?
Start by cooking the bacon until crispy. You can do this in the oven, large skillet or in the wok. If cooking in the wok do so over medium heat, rotate the bacon from the center out as it cooks. The pieces in the middle will cook faster. Remove to paper towels to drain. Once the bacon is cooled coarsely chop.
Add canola oil to the wok and heat on high. Add kielbasa and cook until lightly browned. Remove to plate and add a little more canola oil to the wok and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the onion and the red pepper. Cook for two to three minutes stirring several times. Remove to plate with sausage. Add a little more canola oil and add the cabbage and cook three to four minutes stirring several times. Reduce heat and add the garlic cooking for one additional minute stirring constantly. Sprinkle the bacon over the top and salt and pepper to taste. Stir Fry is wonderful for achieving crisp cooked veggies but if you like your cabbage a little more tender than for goodness sake leave your veggies in one to two minutes longer.
This super easy dinner can be prepared in fifteen to twenty minutes. It is a family favorite and my teen kids love it. It is low carb, keto friendly and one of my favorites.
Helpful hints for Cabbage Stir Fry Recipe!
- Use oil with a high smoking point like canola, vegetable oil or peanut oil. Get the wok really hot and just to the smoking point.
- Don’t crowd the wok or skillet. Cook in batches and plate the sausage, peppers and onions.
- Garlic can not be cooked at high heat as it will burn. Once burned it tastes bitter. Add it to the wok with a larger group of vegetables that are done or almost done. Turn the heat down and cook for less than one minute.
- Stir fry moves very fast and needs your full attention. This is not the time to fold laundry or take a phone call.
- This Cabbage Stir Fry with Bacon and Sausage is best served immediately. Plan accordingly so everything is fresh out of the wok and hot.

You say this is low carb but your nutrition panel says it is 13 carbs per each of the 4 servings. That is a total of 52 carbs. Is the 13 carbs a mistake? There is nothing in that recipe that would be thst carb intensive.
Beth Pierce
The software that we bloggers use is only so good. All nutritional information shared on this site is an approximation. That being said I believe the carbs on that recipe are overstated.

I am making this recipe but I am adding cooked long grain rice,
also I didnt add the red pepper. My family likes it this way. Try it sometime it’s really good. Some put a scrambled egg in it. But i don’t..
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the tips Lexa! Always a good meal!

I made this recipe because I wanted to add a different taste to my cabbage. I used cajun spice sausage, with a dash of white pepper, and just a dash of cayenne pepper, this recipe is so delicious it will be added to my favorite dishes.

I made this using coleslaw mix instead of a half head of cabbage. I also added frozen stir fry veggies, follow wok directions on back of package. It was VERY yummy!!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Kathy so glad that you liked it!

I made a few changes while making mine. Instead of canola oil, I used sesame oil. I used angel hair shredded cabbage, and I used a couple of shakes of celery seed before serving. DELISH!!!

Beth Pierce
Sounds like all great idea! I do love sesame oil! So glad that you enjoyed it!
Kathy
What is the serving amount? When do you put the the kielbasa back in?
Beth Pierce
Sorry about the delay Kathy! I am currently traveling. The kielbasa is returned at the end. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I have corrected the recipe to reflect that. There are four servings to this recipe but I have not measured the volume of the serving.
