It’s only a slight tweak to the tried and true recipe – still containing butter, cabbage, and onions – but the noodles make it more interesting and filling.

Fried cabbage and egg noodles can be enjoyed as a side dish alongside smoked or fresh sausage (we particularly recommend kielbasa), ham, pork chops, (see also: Char Siu Pork Chops)or roasted chicken. 

Ingredients can also be added to the recipe, or sprinkled on top of the recipe to transform it into a noodle bowl.

For example, browned bacon, browned smoked sausage, or a fried egg would be a great addition to the pot before the onions are added, or you can mix the bacon and sausage into the noodles and cabbage.
