Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Fried Cabbage

Pressure cooker fried cabbage will be your new favorite meal if you love steamed cabbage with bacon! Made in just 3 minutes it’s our favorite side dish.  Don’t you love your Instant Pot and Ninja Foodi?

fried cabbage with bacon

I wasn’t a cabbage fan when I was younger either but when I became an adult I just love it!! This pressure cooker fried cabbage made me a lover. Recently I’ve made several easy Instant Pot recipes with it too! (originally published 8/18, participant in the Amazon program, affiliate links present)

If you’re ready for some flavorful cooked cabbage and sausage or bacon you’ll love this. The perfect side dish during the week we say. 

  • I started with Instant Pot stuffed cabbage casserole which is always a hit.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

  • Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
  • Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
    • This is a great InstaPot cookbook to grab too.
    • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.
star wars instant pot

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

Then I made Instant Pot stuffed cabbage and couldn’t stop with all the cabbage recipes!!

Instant Pot Fried Cabbage

  • Of course you can make it in your Ninja Foodi or Crock Pot Express too. Any brand works.
  • We’ve even made cabbage wedges with a bit of crisp to them in our Foodi, and our air fryer cabbage has been a game changer too.
  • Can you tell I’ve been on a cabbage kick lately? 😉

Any way you choose to do it you just pressure cook for a few minutes with some chicken broth and salt and pepper to taste on high pressure and BAM! Ok…there are a few other secret ingredients, but seriously it will make you love cabbage too.

  • Ok, so it’s not really fried in this case but amazing is how to describe it…….

Is cabbage better for you raw or cooked?

Cooked carrots, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage, peppers and many other vegetables supply more antioxidants to the body than they do when raw.

There is a BEST way to cook it though, you need to boil or steam it to maintain the vitamins.

fried cabbage recipe

I will start by saying if you have a family recipe for fried cabbage then by all means use those measurements and seasonings and just follow my instructions as far as how much liquid to add and how long to cook it.

  • If you don’t then this is the way I have made it several times and we all love it……

What goes good with fried cabbage?

  • We think bacon is a must! You could dice up precooked sausage links and add them into the mix too. That isn’t the traditional add in but make it your own creation y’all!
Pressure Cooker Fried Cabbage

This is what you’ll need to make our 3 minute Instant Pot fried cabbage recipe:

  1. Head of cabbage
    1. chop cabbage into 1″x 1″ squares basically

How do you cut cabbage for fried cabbage?

This is not rocket science but here it goes: Just cut the hard stem off the bottom, then slice the head in half. Put the flat end on your cutting board and slice 4x vertically, then 5x (or so) horizontally so you get squares

cabbage and noodles
  • Voila’, makes sense right? You just want equally sized cabbage squares so every piece is as tender as the next
  • Tip: If you like it a bit firmer cut larger squares, softer = smaller squares.

Continuing on………

  1. Bacon is great, I like uncured regular (not thick) slices personally
  2. Vegetable broth – really you could use any style broth or stock you wanted
  3. Soy sauce
  4. Olive oil
  5. Spices
    1. Pinch of salt and pepper at the end are optional
  6. Onion

If you want to make this great recipe vegetarian style, then just leave out the bacon of course. 😉

Here’s a video showing you this quick cooking time, and how we make this easy fried cabbage recipe

Pressure Cooker Fried Cabbage 2

If you’re looking for more easy or Instant Pot cabbage recipes we have a few!

  • Pressure cooker cabbage soup is wonderful
  • Easy Instant Pot corned beef and cabbage should be cooked more often than just for St. Patricks Day
  • You’ve got to also try this pressure cooker chicken quinoa casserole

Our pressure cooker cabbage and noodles is a bit heartier version of this too!

Pressure Cooker Cabbage and Noodles

Tips for making the best cabbage in a pressure cooker:

  • Choose a small head of cabbage
    • Discard end
    • Slice it into about 5 thick slices
    • Then cut those slices into 1″ x 1″ pieces
  • Do not drain the bacon after you saute it
    • Grease adds to the overall taste
  • Make sure to deglaze your pot after sauteeing
    • I HIGHLY suggest you get a non stick pot if you don’t already have one, little need to deglaze if you have one
  • Quick release the steam
    • Take lid off immediately and turn pot off when done, or cabbage will get too soft

  • Pour your remaining vegetable broth over your cabbage leaves.
  • Sprinkle all spices and soy sauce on top as well as any type of onions you may want to add if they aren’t in already.

  • Do a quick release and enjoy!

    I’ve tried cabbage recipes and have always failed. This was spot on. I did a 2 minute cook time. Wow. 1 and 5 year old loved it and ate double portions. Husband said it was the best cabbage I’ve made. I agree. Thank you!

    Just made this and it is very tasty and will make again. I omitted the chili powder and followed another posters comment to only do 2 minutes instead of 3. Glad I did as another minute would be to mushy for me.

    Made this for dinner tonight and was superb! I did make a few changes such as browning the bacon and onions in butter, using chicken broth in place of the veg broth, added 5 chopped potatoes and used liquid aminos in place of soy sauce.

    I will be trying this tonight. I have been crazy about cabbage since the first of the year. My favorite recipe is one that is BAKED! It is very simple as well, just chop cabbage, add to a baking dish (spray w/pan spray first), sprinkle w/about 1 tsp sale and 1/2 tsp. pepper and appr. 1/2 stick butter. I take the butter and just cut it up over the cabbage. Sometimes I push some down into it. Bake at 380 degrees for about an hr (ck at 40-45 min for degree of tenderness). I just LOVE this! I hate veggies; had a father that would force me and I never grew up. I love this. So good.
    Original recipe called for oil, either canola or olive oil, but she mentioned butter, and it tastes so good I don’t want to mess w/it. I will try this recipe for IP “fried” cabbage. My experiences w/cabbage in IP are that the cabbage turns out mushy. Maybe 2 mins will keep it from doing that.
    Thanks for the recipe.

      • The Typical Mom says

        10/29/2020 at 11:41 am

        I haven’t freezed it, personally I think it would change the texture too much when defrosted and reheated.
