Cabbage and egg noodle stir-fry is a simple, yet delicious dish that combines tender egg noodles with the subtle sweetness of cabbage. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light lunch. With minimal ingredients and easy steps, you can whip up a satisfying meal in no time.
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This typically takes around 7-10 minutes.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core.
- Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
- In a large skillet or wok, melt the stick of butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, add the shredded cabbage to the skillet.
- Stir the cabbage to coat it evenly with the butter. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the sautéed cabbage.
- Toss them together thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well mixed with the cabbage and butter.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt over the noodle and cabbage mixture. Adjust to taste if necessary.
- Add a dash of black pepper and stir again until everything is evenly combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the cabbage and egg noodle stir-fry immediately, garnishing with additional black pepper if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the water is boiling before you add the egg noodles for the best texture.
- Use a large skillet or wok to allow enough space for all the ingredients to cook evenly.
- Consider adding a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil for an extra flavor boost.
- Toast the egg noodles slightly in the butter for a nuttier flavor before adding the cabbage.
- If you prefer a bit of protein, add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
