- Taste with salt, pepper, and sugar or vinegar.
- TO ASSEMLE.
- Mix drained noodles into cabbage. Cover and let flavors blend for 2 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper on top for a nicer look.

This dish was well received at my table. We enjoyed the contrast of the soft noodles and the slight crunch of the cabbage. We are also fans of German food so loved the wonderful vinegar, butter and caraway combination. I prepared everything ahead as you suggested and it came together very quickly and easily. It went well with garlic sausage and green beans for a perfect meal. We will make this again. Thanks Inge 1505.

Hi,
I am German and I live with my husband Thorsten (Chef Thorsten)in the former German capital Bonn, a rather small town near Cologne at the river Rhine.
I work in a teashop (a TeaGschwendner franchise shop, see my web site link) situated in a quaint little old house in the center of Bonn and like it a lot. I enjoy to make myself comfortable with a cup of tea and a book (an old cookbook is good).
