To prepare a delicious recipe of cabbage noodles with rice, we will start by ensuring that we have all the necessary ingredients at hand. You will need a medium cabbage, a large onion, 200 g of rice, 200 ml of broth, sunflower oil, 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, pepper, and water. It is important that all the ingredients are fresh to achieve a perfect taste.
Start by cleaning the cabbage, removing the outer leaves that are not in the best condition. Cut the cabbage into thin strips, also known as "noodles". Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it finely. In a large frying pan, add a few tablespoons of oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté it until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, which will add a special flavor to the dish.
After the onion has sautéed, add a tablespoon of sweet paprika and mix well to combine the flavors. Then add the cut cabbage noodles and mix everything, ensuring that the cabbage is well coated with the onion and paprika mixture. Let the cabbage fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft, which can take between 10 and 15 minutes. The fried cabbage will capture the flavors of the onion and sweet paprika, providing an intense taste.
Once the cabbage has softened, add the well-washed rice under cold running water. This step is essential as it removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly. Continue by adding 200 ml of broth, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper, adjusting the spices to your preferences. Mix everything to combine the ingredients.
Now add about 200 ml of water, ensuring that all the ingredients are covered. Let the mixture simmer on low heat, covering the pan with a lid, to allow the rice to absorb the liquid and flavors. It is important to check occasionally, stirring gently to avoid sticking. If you notice that the liquid has evaporated too quickly, do not hesitate to add a little water to achieve a thick and tasty cabbage.
After about 30 minutes, the dish should be ready. The rice should be well cooked, and the cabbage will have retained its texture, having a savory taste. Serve this dish hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread, to complete the culinary experience. It is a traditional recipe, full of flavor, perfect for cool days or for a healthy lunch. Enjoy your meal!
