Hungarian Cabbage and Noodles🇭🇺.

🥘 Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until al dente, then drain. Set aside.
2. Prepare the cabbage mixture:
   • In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter (or lard).
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden.
   • Add the shredded cabbage and a pinch of salt (and sugar, if using).
   • Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the cabbage is soft and caramelized (about 20–25 minutes). It should turn golden brown and smell sweet.
3. Combine:
   • Toss the drained noodles with the cabbage-onion mixture.
   • Season generously with black pepper (Hungarian style). Taste and adjust with more salt if needed.
4. Serve:
   • Serve warm, as a main dish or alongside meats like roast pork or sausage.

🍽️ Notes:

• This dish is vegetarian-friendly and budget-friendly.
• Some Hungarian families add crispy bacon or sausage for extra flavor.
• The secret is slow-cooking the cabbage until sweet and golden.
