This dish has its roots in Hungary but is also popular in Austria and Germany. My German grandmother made this using square pieces of pasta, I like to use dumpling noodles when I can find them. Sometimes I fry some chopped bacon and garlic with the onions and cabbage. This a cheap but good meal. To make this a main dish meal add Kielbasa or cubed ham to cabbage when frying. The step of letting the cabbage sit in the salt is important. It does add a better flavor to the recipe and the texture.
