This is an idea that evolved from one of those little cookbooks groups publish to raise money for their organizations. It was called Cabbage Throw-All in 1978 and was from "Food Tales from Rolling Hills" a Nursing Home facility raising money for their arts and crafts department. They had a short paragraph directing you to fry whatever you have on hand vegetables with whatever you have on hand meats combined with cabbage and topped with prepared Ramen noodles.
What I have found most interesting is that when my kids were little and would not eat vegetables this they loved?? To this day if I make it everyone loves it and there are happy smiles all around.
1/2 head green cabbage shredded
1 large onion diced
3 carrots shredded
1 bunch green onions sliced
1/4 head of red cabbage shredded
3 boiled red potatoes with peels left on
1 pound smoked sausage sliced
3 T. oil or bacon drippings
Black pepper
Soy sauce
Heat oil in large flat bottomed pan and stir fry sausage and potatoes until browned. Add the vegetables and stir fry 5-6 minutes until tender crisp. Season to taste with soy sauce and black pepper. I have never made the Ramen noodles but I am sure they would be great too.
NOTE: This is just what I had on hand last night. You can use any meat and any vegetables with cabbage for this.
What a great one pot, down home meal! Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
