Key Ingredients + Substitutions
Be sure to see the recipe card below for a full listing of ingredients, instructions, and estimated nutritional information.
- Ground Pork – option to swap out for ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken, just make sure you cook it long enough to get a little crispy.
- Cabbage – shred your own green cabbage or toss in some coleslaw mix to make it super simple.
- Ramen Noodles – quick cooking noodles that always hit the spot!
How To Make Cabbage And Noodles
Step 1 – Brown the ground pork until it starts to get crispy.
Step 2 – Melt butter and sauté the cabbage and garlic.
Pro Tip – Crispy Pork!
Brown the ground pork in a skillet, breaking apart into pieces, and then just keep cooking until it turns a darker brown and starts getting crispy around the edges. You may end up with some browned bits on the bottom of the pan that can be deglazed with a splash of broth.
Step 3 – Mix in the rest of the ingredients while the noodles cook separately.
Step 4 – Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss.
What Do You Serve With Fried Cabbage And Noodles
There are a few ways to serve up this noodle dish. I love adding a 6-minute soft boiled egg or some over easy eggs for that protein boost. A drizzle of chili crisp or sriracha would be perfect for adding a kick of heat. And shelled edamame are a great option for adding a pop of green!
