Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon grease for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Add the cooked egg noodles, soy sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Stir in the crispy bacon and mix well. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use olive oil or butter for sautéing. You can add mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Add protein by incorporating cooked chicken or tofu for a heartier meal.
