Where do you learn English ? I note your spelling is American .
I learned from my parents and in school some English. My DA was a teacher and so is my mother. I learned the American spelling from DA. I loathe to write poorly spelled words. I have only been actively speaking English for three years to prepare for the journey here. I do not have the grammar properly yet but that is another thing DA is assisting to me.
If any of you see the mistakes I am making, you may correct me. I am still learning.

This danged thread keeps popping up in the right-hand column as active and I ended up making Polish cabbage and noodles tonight. The shepherd can wait for his pie. 
My recipe uses three ingredients, plus water. I boil wide, flat noodles, then drain. After shredding the cabbage I steam it lightly, just until it no longer looks raw. Drain that too. Then melt a little butter or stick margarine into two pans (I use one large frypan and the pot I used for steaming the cabbage and boiling noodles) and fry each in their own pan until they are a bit brown and the noodles are a little crisp on some edges. Then "marry" the two into the pan, fry up just a bit more to blend the flavors, and eat. Add salt and pepper if you like.
From taking the ingredients out to stuffing our faces is a half hour or less. Near-instant gratification!

Reading about a recipe can really make you crave it! Your recipe is like mine. Many people in my area use haluski noodles which are not very wide but very thick. My step daughter sometimes uses something she calls dumplings. I'm not sure what they are. And she also cooks brussel sprouts and adds them to it, and I have done that occasionally, but I cook my brussel sprouts until they fall apart instead of putting them in whole. I cook my cabbage and noodles until they are brown and a little crispy like you do, but my step-daughter does not. Her noodles are still white and her cabbage is still green. I like our way better.
When I make stuffed cabbage rolls I always make cabbage and noodles with the leftover cabbage. The only part that is thrown away is the core.

I love Haluski. I add sausage to mine and have had it with bacon. I also add sour cream at the end.

You all are making me so hungry. I grew up with a Czech dad. Noodles, cabbage and pork were plentiful. My hubby hates vegetables and cabbage in particular. I really miss cabbage! I break down and cook it once in a while despite his protests that it smells up the house! Oh, I do miss cabbage...
Yummy!
I just read through this thread and love it. I, too, like cabbage...any way it can be prepared.
Cat's recipe is very similar to one I've made for years that is called Carpathian Cabbage, except that browned ground beef is added to the mix. Doesn't matter. Cabbage is a good thing. Part of my family background is Slovenian, so cabbage is often part of the menu.

Online, I found many solutions for eliminating the smell of cabbage cooking. Here are a few of them.
Place a bowl with 1 inch of white vinegar on the counter and it will absorb the smell of the cabbage cooking.
Add 1 tsp of white vinegar to the pot when you are cooking cabbage.
Add 1 TBS lemon juice to the pot when you are cooking cabbage.
As with everything you read online, the only way to see if it works is to try it. My family loves cabbage so much that the smell of cabbage cooking means they are going to have a delicious dinner.

Does that also get rid of that taste that is like the smell? I know vinegar gets rid of that taste and smell when I make Danish red cabbage.

Oh, but cabbage smells so good, makes my mouth water! My hubby is simply anti- veggie, so he can just suffer when I cook cabbage once or twice per year!
You have got to be kidding. Cooking cabbage produces a truly foul smell.

To each their own. Although I must agree that it smells sulfurish when overcooked.
That sounds very good!
Thank you all for these discussions of the recipe! All of you are so kind to me.
Your friend,
