Today’s dish is a cozy and flavorful stir-fry inspired by a popular diner set meal:
Buttery potatoes, savory bacon, and cabbage, all tossed with garlic and seasoned with nori-shio (seaweed salt) for that nostalgic Japanese flavor.
✦ Creamy potatoes meet savory bacon and sweet cabbage
✦ A hint of garlic brings it all together
✦ The aroma of aonori seaweed (green laver) is simply irresistible!
“The perfect comfort meal after a long day.”

Sauté the aromatics.
Heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a frying pan over low heat.
Add bacon and garlic, then sauté slowly until lightly browned.
Remove bacon and garlic from the pan and set aside (leave the oil in the pan).
Note: Garlic burns easily—remove it first if it’s browning too quickly.

Steam-fry the potatoes.
Add potatoes to the same pan. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes, until soft and tender.
A bit of golden color on the edges is ideal.
- 4
Combine everything.
Return the bacon and garlic to the pan.
Add the cabbage and all A ingredients (salted butter, salt, soy sauce, aonori).
Stir-fry over high heat for 1–2 minutes until well combined and the cabbage is slightly wilted.

Tips & Notes
・We used Green Ball cabbage, a sweet and tender variety.
・The salt content from the bacon and salted butter is enough—just two pinches of added salt is ideal.
・Add extra potatoes for a more filling version.
・Soy sauce is meant to add a subtle hint of flavor —don’t overdo it! If it tastes under-seasoned, add more salt, not soy sauce.
