Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Core and thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft and golden brown. Adjust the heat to prevent burning, and allow it to slightly caramelize.
Step 5
Once the cabbage is cooked, stir in the drained egg noodles. Toss well to combine and evenly coat the noodles with the caramelized cabbage.
Step 6
Season the mixture with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and the optional paprika for a hint of smokiness.
Step 7
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the dish is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

Serve warm as a main dish or alongside a protein of choice. Enjoy!
