It was good but we did add a little bit of soy sauce at the end as some other people suggested and it gave it the perfect touch for us!


Abhinaya Swaminathan - Dec. 29, 2024, 1:06 p.m.

This is going to my permanent meal planning rotation


Sophie Chandler - July 24, 2024, 8:04 p.m.

Really very yummy 🖤


Martunia - May 31, 2024, 8:40 p.m.

Very good and simple. Taiwanese flat noodles are simply impossible to find where I live, so I went with spaghetti noodles, and that worked well, too!


Mothra - April 24, 2024, 6:43 a.m.

It’s the GRAT - Greatest Recipe of All Time. Subtle and sweet, nourishing and just the most comforting meal. Love love love.

Woop woop! Thanks, Mothra 🙌


Aruna - April 16, 2024, 9:25 p.m.

My husband and I love making this simple dish on a week night. Tastes fantastic. We sometimes add soy sauce to make it have a different flavour, just to have another simple variation of this dish.


Jude - March 17, 2024, 11:49 p.m.

It's definitely a more subtle flavor, but I feel like that's expected from butter noodles and I still really enjoyed it. Like other people said, it makes a nice base for any changes you might want to make too

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 6:47 a.m.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the noodles, Jude! Glad that they were enjoyed :)


Mimina - Feb. 22, 2024, 9:23 p.m.

I swapped butter for sesame oil and a little soy sauce and it still turned out delicious! 🤤 Thanks for the recipe, team ❤️


Durva Khedkar - Feb. 5, 2024, 6:55 p.m.

How do 35 g of peas have 17 g of protein?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 6, 2024, 3:30 a.m.

Hey Durva, the protein also comes from the other ingredients such as noodles and cabbage. For example, 2 ounces of Taiwanese flat noodles often offers between 6-10 grams of protein depending on the brand 🤗

Durva Khedkar - Feb. 6, 2024, 3:35 a.m.

Thankyou


Heather - Feb. 1, 2024, 12:58 a.m.

A nice simple dish that tastes just as great the next day for lunch.


apoorva suman - Jan. 30, 2024, 7:41 p.m.

Great recipe! I added a little vinegar ,five spice and groundnuts and it was delicious!


lizzie - Jan. 30, 2024, 1:06 p.m.

Just what I needed. Fresh, light and generous portion. I used tahini instead of butter and splash of soy sauce 😋


Tiffany A. - Jan. 23, 2024, 1:34 a.m.

This was yummy and light meal. My daughter enjoyed it quite a bit. I added a little miso paste for a little more subtle flavor a d my husband added chili crisps. A very versatile meal! Great before and after additions.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 23, 2024, 1:43 a.m.

We're so glad to hear it was enjoyed, Tiffany, thank you! 🙂


Dorka - Jan. 7, 2024, 3:58 p.m.

The taste is really delicious but my cabbage was probably too big

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 7:03 a.m.

Hey Dorka, thanks for taking the time to share this! In case it helps, one head of green cabbage for us is around 900 grams 😊

nohya Amande - March 19, 2025, 12:23 p.m.

Thank you for the info, love it when there are measurements in grams for the vegetables, so helpful!


Gina Sanders - Jan. 6, 2024, 11:04 p.m.

Perfect meal. Cozy wholesome and good for you food with incredible flavor. We will repeat this one often.


Holly - Jan. 4, 2024, 3:29 a.m.

Fast and easy enough to make for lunch and absolutely delicious. I topped it with chilli crisp because I’m addicted lol


Natasha - Dec. 17, 2023, 12:38 a.m.

I thought it was bland as written, but I added soy sauce like another reviewer suggested and it turned into a good meal.

Also, this make a lot. Made about 2x the listed number of servings.


Alexis Bushnell - Dec. 15, 2023, 6:49 p.m.

Quick, easy and delicious.


Caitlin Higgins - Dec. 11, 2023, 6:42 p.m.

Nice base recipe you could play with. I added some chili oil and a tiny bit of soy sauce. Next time I'll likely add tofu or something to add extra protein and maybe some other veggies like diakon, pepper, etc.

Really good!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2023, 3:44 a.m.

We're so glad that the noodles were enjoyed, Caitlin, thanks for sharing your experience with it 😃✨


Lucero García - Dec. 5, 2023, 11:56 p.m.

It is a huge and delicious meal. It is the perfect one to add more greens to your diet. I never try cabbage like this and it was delicious.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 7, 2023, 5:25 p.m.

We’re so happy that the noodles were enjoyed, Lucero, thank you 🙌


Bonnie Peller - Dec. 1, 2023, 11:35 p.m.

I used rice noodles, but they all stuck together when I set them aside. Any suggestions for next time?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 2, 2023, 3:25 a.m.

Hey there, Bonnie, noodles may stick together due to factors such as overcrowding the pot, cooking them in not enough water, not stirring enough during cooking, or using naturally stickier noodles. It could help to cook the noodles in a larger pot with more water, and stir them more often. After you've drained them, rinsing the noodles under warm water helps to remove the starch which can make them sticky, and some people even toss them in a bit of oil to prevent sticking too. I usually find rinsing under water does the trick well enough though. I hope this helps for now 🤗

Bonnie Peller - Dec. 2, 2023, 8:03 p.m.

Thank you so very much for the tips. I certainly appreciate your assistance.


Nicole - Nov. 30, 2023, 8:43 p.m.

Loved this recipe. It reminded me of my grandma’s haluski recipe from when I was a kid.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2023, 1:29 a.m.

Awe what a special connection to the recipe, Nicole! 🥹 so glad the noodles were enjoyed ✨


Kristen - Nov. 4, 2023, 9:45 p.m.

Loved this! It definitely is quick and easy. I doubled the amount of noodles though.


Chandra - Oct. 29, 2023, 11:53 p.m.

We really loved how simple, easy, and quick this was to make! The flavor was great!


Leo - Oct. 8, 2023, 6:11 p.m.

Super quick and easy, but nevertheless delicious :)


Jose - Aug. 16, 2023, 3:24 a.m.

Delicious, easy, and filling! It’s one of my go to meals now.


Linda Fe - Aug. 14, 2023, 2:35 a.m.

A great take on buttered noodles! Loved all the veg that went into it. Found 2 servings fit for 3, likely due to the cabbage adding more volume and the noodle rec of 7oz when 4 or 5oz likely would have been good. We topped it with some okonomi sauce to give it some more pizazz!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 14, 2023, 3:20 a.m.

Ooo thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe, Linda, it's so appreciated!


Tanya Shree - Aug. 11, 2023, 5:48 a.m.

Loved this recipe . It’s going to be on our weekly meal plan from now on. Thanks so much PUL ♥️. Just a suggestion, would it be possible to add +30 sec instead of 1 min to the timer ? Just gives me more control in terms of timer.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 11, 2023, 3:23 p.m.

Hey Tanya, so happy the recipe was enjoyed and thanks for the request! We'll note it down 💛


Andrea Bryant - July 31, 2023, 11:32 p.m.

I make cabbage for myself quite a bit I never considered adding noodles (I ❤️noodles) I took a liberty and added white wine for flavor and with the butter it makes a bit of a sauce. This will be my new cabbage go to. 😊❤️❤️


Mairi - July 23, 2023, 5:31 p.m.

Just made this and loved how simple, quick and yet tasty it is, also as leftovers on the next day!
The only issue we had is that our cabbage must've been way bigger than the one that is supposed to be used in this recipe. We aimed for 4 servings and ended up with about 7-8. At first it tasted a little bland because the measurements for spices and butter didn't work anymore. Once we added more of everything it was delicious!
So I wonder if it might be an option for you guys to add the approximate weight of something like cabbage or even onions instead of just saying 1 head or small/medium etc? I think that would be really helpful 🤗

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 26, 2023, 9:55 p.m.

Hey Mairi, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe! Your experience is super helpful so we can improve. We'll note down the request to include grams of vegetables 😊


Mandie - July 17, 2023, 1:38 a.m.

Subed noodles for edamame and spirulina noodles, and it was divine!! So simple but had lots of flavor.


Matheus Ribeiro - July 14, 2023, 10:32 p.m.

wonderful


Erin Janda - July 9, 2023, 1:23 a.m.

Love the noodles in this dish. The noodles pair really nicely with the veggies.


Liz Conn - July 4, 2023, 3:23 a.m.

Delicious and easy. Would be even faster using a bag of coleslaw mix instead of cutting up the cabbage and carrots.


Sarah Ellis - June 27, 2023, 6:20 p.m.

I really liked this recipe. I was unsure if the flavour was going to be bland or not but it was really yummy! Not bland at all. Simple, delicious and easy. I will definitely make this again, and you could easily add more veggies. With all PUL recipes I substitute the vegetables oil for olive oil just to be a bit healthier and it works every time

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 28, 2023, 9:27 a.m.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the recipe, Sarah! So glad it was enjoyed 🤗


Olja - June 27, 2023, 5:35 p.m.

Nice and easy and simple dish!


Catarina - June 12, 2023, 9:25 p.m.


Phillipa - April 6, 2023, 8:25 p.m.

This was so quick and yet so deliciously comforting. This is going to become a regular speedy option in our house. Thank you. I'm used to making things with more ingredients and spices so it's really lovely to have an option which feels paired back but doesn't compromise on taste.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 7, 2023, 9:18 p.m.

So happy to hear, Phillipa, thank you 🤗


tadajon - Feb. 8, 2023, 2:12 a.m.

Another amazing & simple meal!
