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.
