Description
Buttery cabbage and noodles with sweet, caramelized cabbage and tender egg noodles make the perfect fast weeknight comfort meal. Cozy, budget-friendly and ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or similar neutral cooking oil)
- 1 yellow onion (¼-inch sliced)
- ½ head green cabbage (cored and cut into ½-inch strips)
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles (or similarly shaped pasta)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- ¼ cup water (plus additional as needed)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or similar large, deep pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and browned at the edges, about 10 minutes.
- To the pot, add the cabbage, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Every few minutes, run a wooden spoon along the bottom of the pot to make sure the cabbage and onions aren’t sticking. If they are splash in a few tablespoons of additional water to loosen them (repeat adding water as often as necessary).
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente (about 7 minutes, or according to package instructions). Drain.
- Once the cabbage is softened, stir in the smoked paprika, black pepper, soy sauce, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Turn off the heat. Add the drained noodles and butter. Stir so the butter melts and everything is nicely combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of the vinegar or lemon juice. Taste and add more salt and pepper as desired. Serve warm.
