Tips

  • Shred the cabbage finely so it blends well with the noodles and adds nutrition.
  • You can use bacon grease instead of butter to save money.
  • Cook the onions first to give them a head start and enhance flavor.
  • For maximum flavor, try to get some caramelization on the cabbage and onions, even though it's not traditional for this recipe.
  • The oven step is optional; you can also simmer the cabbage on the stove until tender.
