Transylvanian Cabbage and Noodles is a classic Eastern European comfort food dish that features shredded cabbage and wide egg noodles cooked with onions and seasonings. This hearty and satisfying dish is perfect for a chilly winter evening or as a side dish at a family gathering. Cabbage, a staple in Eastern European cuisine, has a sweet and slightly peppery flavor that pairs well with the buttery noodles and caramelized onions. The addition of caraway seeds gives the dish a warm, earthy flavor that makes it even more delicious.

Instructions

1.	Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and add the egg noodles, cooking according to the instructions on the package.
2.	While the noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened and slightly browned.
3.	Add in the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft and slightly caramelized.
4.	Drain the cooked noodles, add them to the skillet with the cabbage and onion, and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle with caraway seeds if desired.
