Pan Fried Cabbage and Noodles

Growing up in Indiana, each summer, my dad would pick fresh cabbage out of the garden for this dish. It’s still a favorite for my parents, and I keep this dinner going with my family. Hopefully, one day my kids will be serving this for their family dinners.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 4 Tbsp. butter – The original recipe is 1 full stick (8 oz.) of butter. It's totally up to you whether or not you use 1/2 or 1 full stick
• 1 large cabbage – sliced
• 1 12 oz. egg noodles – cooked to package directions and drained
• 1 large medium/hot pepper I like to use a Jalapeno pepper without veins or seeds, but here is where you can really adjust the heat of this dish. Use a bell pepper if a Jalapeno is too spicy, or use the seeds with the Jalapeno for more spice
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• ¾ tsp. salt – divided
• ¼ tsp. ground black pepper

Instructions

 

• Melt butter in a large (12-inch preferred) non-stick frying pan over med-high heat
• Add cabbage and cook down for about 10 minutes – stirring occasionally, and turning cabbage over so the top layer gets some time at the bottom – until cabbage is tender and translucent (Honestly, I prefer my cabbage turning a bit brown – I think it tastes better)
• Add more butter or olive oil – if needed
• Add jalapeno, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. of the salt and pepper – stir in
• Add cooked and drained noodles
• Cook a few more minutes to distribute the flavor
• Add the additional 1/4 tsp. of salt – if needed
• Serve with warm bread

Notes

*removing the veins and seeds from the jalapeno will take some of the heat away from the pepper

*If you don’t like spicy food, you can make the recipe without the hot pepper

*my humble opinion…I think that when the cabbage starts to brown is when it is the best-tasting

• My mom used to cook this recipe with one whole stick (8 oz.) of butter. While I think butter makes everything better, I cut the amount in half. It’s up to you whether or not you want to increase the amount to the original recipe
