Cabbage and Noodles Recipe

Cabbage and Noodles is a total comfort food that’s so easy to make! I absolutely love sautéed cabbage, especially when it’s combined with onions and carrots and tossed with buttery noodles.

This Cabbage and Noodles dish has been passed down in my Polish family for many years. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve cooked this up and like many traditional meals, there’s a long history behind where this dish came from.

What Is Haluski?

Haluski is a basic dish made with fried cabbage and egg noodles. It’s a cheap meal, costing around $5 to feed 6 people.

The History Of Haluski

During the 1800’s women in Europe had an average of six children during their lives, with many families having more than that. Many of these families from Eastern Europe were poor and needed a simple and cheap dish that could feed the entire family (and keep them full).

One of their favorite dishes that Polish Grandmothers (babcia!) and Mothers made was haluski. Haluski is a dish that my mother would make very often. It’s no surprise that this was passed down to her from my Grandmother.

Main Ingredients In Haluski

  1. Egg Noodles: In Poland, haluski is commonly made with dumplings, but nowadays most people make it with egg noodles.
  2. Cabbage: The other key ingredient is green cabbage. This is meant to be a simple dish but if you want to add in some other vegetables, go for it! I always like to add in carrots and onions too!

How To Make Cabbage And Noodles

Start this recipe by cooking the egg noodles according to package instructions.

Heat the butter in a large skillet or pan, add the cabbage, onion and carrots and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Now, add the noodles to the pan, stir so they combine with the vegetable and butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve warm in bowls. For the final touch, if you want to indulge in some creaminess, add a scoop of sour cream on top of your haluski, if desired. Now mix it around. Oh yeah, isn’t that perfection?

I hope you enjoy this Cabbage and Noodles recipe as much as I love it!

    I have been coking for 55 yrs and I can make potato dumplings or bread dumplings. By good ol flour dumplings are you referring to drop dumplins or something else? Since I was asking a serious question I did’nt expect a flippant answer..

      Hey Donna, I would just cut the recipe in half. That way you have a little more than 2 servings, in case someone is extra hungry. If not, pack it for lunch the next day! 🙂

    I just made this recipe for the first time, which is also the first time I’ve ever cooked a meal by myself, and I am so pleased with this dish! I used every ingredient it called for, but I made it my own way by using a bag of cole slaw mix to save time on chopping veggies. I also added a generous drizzle of olive oil over the cabbage and onions after I had already put the 1/2 cup of butter, just for its benefits! It also added a nice bit of extra flavor to the dish as well! Thank you so much for this delicious recipe! I am so happy to have cooked such a wonderful and simple meal that everyone loves!

    Ok so my best friend is Polish and I am of Ukrainian descent. We know good food and that is why I love your blog so much.That just explains everything. Every nationality has their own great cuisine, not to be biased here, but when you grow up with certain foods, you will never get tired of discovering something else you can make. I love this recipe!
