Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or rendered bacon fat
• ½ large head green cabbage, cored and sliced thin
• Salt
• 1 (16-ounce) bag wide egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot for the noodles.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the cabbage, season with ¼ teaspoon salt, and cook, tossing frequently, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked cabbage to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and cabbage.
