Ingredients

• 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, for balance)

Directions

Step 1

Core the cabbage and shred it finely using a knife, food processor, or box grater.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large sauté pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Sprinkle in the salt and cook, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is soft and golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, lowering the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

Step 5

If desired, stir in the sugar to balance the flavors once the cabbage is caramelized.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan with the cabbage. Toss everything together to combine well.

Step 7

Season with black pepper to taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

Step 8

Serve warm as a main dish or side dish. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of sour cream or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor.
