Frugal Gourmet's Polish Noodles and Cabbage

Laudee's Note:

This recipe is from "The Frugal Gourmet on Our Immigrant Ancestors" cookbook. It's a great Polish comfort food, easy to mix and serve, and it's easy on the pocketbook. I like to add sliced Kielbasa to mix when done and serve with a tossed salad and good hard-crust bread.

This was delish! I had to buy caraway seed, as it isn't something I normally use, and I'm glad I did. A definite keeper.

When my BIL asked for noodles and cabbage, this is the one I selected. He says "Thumbs up!". The next time he asked for soul food, this is what he will get.

GREAT RECIPE, My husband really enjoyed it. I did fry the noodles in a seperate pan, then added them to the cabbage that I had prepared. My husband loves just plain fried noodles. The onion and caraway seed gives it a nice flavor.Thank you for posting the recipe I will be making this again for sure.
