Tonight’s dinner was fried cabbage and noodles from budget bytes which calls for sautéing onions and cabbage then adding cooked noodles. Tonight’s version is a little heavy on the onions since I had only a small amount of cabbage left.

Your cabbage and noodles dish is one of the heritage dishes of my childhood, halusky. Comfort food with memories for me—glad you shared.
Though tiny dumplings are traditional, many people use noodles like you did. I’m even thinking of trying skillet gnocchi in this dish, because it reminds me of the dumplings.

Thanks!
Another nod to Lunar New Year (I try to celebrate every cultural, ethnic, religious, or location’s holiday if it involves a food tradition). Indonesian Mee Goreng. Stir fried bok choi, red bell peppers, shrimp and egg noodles. The sauce is a blend of s0y sauce, kecap manis, oyster sauce, ketchup, sriraja and sesame oil.

Thanks for sharing the memory. My dad’s side of the family is Czech however his parents died before I was born. I often wonder if they made this dish. Very few Czech dishes made it to our dinner table since my mom’s side of the family was not Czech. Apparently my dad’s mom taught my mom a few Czech dishes when my parents were first married so my dad would have some familiar dishes to eat but the only dish I remember is roast pork and dumplings.

Me too, on the celebration of foods of different cultures. Variety is the spice of life, a human once said.
I always wanted to have a restaurant that served a different culinary diaspoa each night.

Chances are very good that they did, especially if they immigrated to North America themselves and/or lived in a community with folks from that part of the world. Rather a staple dish.
P.S. I grew up in Pittsburgh and halusky has made its way from home kitchens to be a common side dish at church fish fries and in taverns. Younger me would not have imagined this—just something that grandma made, especially during Lent.

Thank you. No where close to the Southeast Asian Market in Philadelphia but better than what’s available locally - which is nothing.

Did you manage to go back once more before they closed up shop? We still have 3 packages of frozen sai oua we’ve been saving. Might have to make a few up soon
