Hungarian Cabbage and Noodles🇭🇺

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles:
    • Boil the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the cabbage:
    • Heat oil or lard in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
    • Add shredded cabbage, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.
    • Optional: add sugar to balance the cabbage’s natural bitterness.
    • Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but still has a slight bite.
  3. Combine with noodles:
    • Add cooked noodles to the cabbage mixture.
    • Toss gently to combine and let the flavors meld for a few minutes.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve hot, with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

💡 Tips:

  • Some versions include a little smoked sausage or bacon for extra flavor.
  • For a creamier version, stir in a bit of sour cream directly into the cabbage and noodles.
  • This dish is often served as a main course in Hungary but works well as a side too.
