Square egg noodles, called fleckerln, an Austrian favorite, are the basis of this dish. Wide egg noodles work just as well.
1 large yellow onion, peeled
1/2 head cabbage, cored
6 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lb. wide egg noodles
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, thinly slice onion and set aside. Thinly slice cabbage and set aside.
2. Melt butter and oil together in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 6–8 minutes. Add cabbage, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until cabbage begins to brown, 5–8 minutes.
3. Cook noodles in boiling water until just cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Drain noodles, add to skillet with cabbage, and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes more. Adjust seasonings.
