Bring the water to a boil. Place shredded cabbage or wedges into the steamer basket and place the basket in the pan of boiling water. Cover and cook shredded cabbage for 5 to 8 minutes and wedges for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook only until tender-crisp.
For a different twist, try frying cabbage. Follow the same preparation instructions, and instead of boiling the cabbage and bacon in water, toss the mixture into a skillet with 1 to 2 tsp. (5 to 10 ml) of olive oil. Allow it to fry for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. The result will be a crispy, flavorful side you can add to any meal.
