- Sauté: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pot. Cook the onion for a few minutes until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir well. If the cabbage doesn’t fit in the pot at first, add only half and stir for a few minutes until it reduces in volume. Then, add the remaining cabbage. Stir fry the cabbage for about 4 minutes.2 tablespoons butter + 1 medium onion

- Cook the noodles while the cabbage is cooking. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt generously and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles, reserving about ½ cup/ 125 ml of the cooking liquid.1 lb egg noodles / 450-500 g
