Slice cabbage into thin strips, julienne carrots, dice onion, and core and slice apple into thin wedges. Ensure uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Cook noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Don't overcook as they'll continue cooking when combined with vegetables.
