I love cabbage and I loved this recipe! I used a bit extra cabbage because it "cooks down" a bit. I liked the method of salting and rinsing the cabbage. It kept the cabbage pleasantly crisp in contrast to the soft noodles. I like that this recipe isn't drowning in butter; the amount listed is just enough. Thanx for a wonderful classic recipe!

We really enjoyed this - it is classic comfort food and was surprisingly addictive, considering the simple ingredients. The only change I made was I rinsed the cabbage off after salting it and then pressed it in a towel to remove the water. Thanks for posting this! Made for My Three Chefs Fall 08
