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

  • 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

    Fantastically simple yet VERY tastey recipe. I am so sorry that I ignored cabbage all these years thinking it was only for cole slaw.

    I added sliced onions (sauted in pan.) I also added a bit of crumbled bacon (with grease) to the pan at the finish of wilting the cabbage.

    The cabbage stands alone if you are counting carbs…. just reduce butter to taste.

    Thank you for the great recipe!!!
