Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced onion
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves and cutting the cabbage in half. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir to combine with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the cabbage begins to wilt and caramelize.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture and continue to cook for 3-4 more minutes, allowing the sugar to melt and create a light caramelization.
Season the cabbage mixture with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss the noodles with the cabbage mixture until evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Sweet and Peppery Sauteed Cabbage and Noodles!
