Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add kluski noodles and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well, then chop the cooked noodles into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- 2
In a large pot, combine the chopped cabbage and onion with ¼ cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. The cabbage should be wilted and soft.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked cabbage and onion to the hot oil. Cook until the vegetables begin to brown and caramelize, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the diced kielbasa and continue cooking until the sausage is heated through and lightly browned.
- 4
Stir the mustard seeds into the cabbage and kielbasa mixture. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the chopped kluski noodles and stir everything together until well combined.
- 5
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the noodle mixture. Stir constantly until the eggs are fully set and scrambled throughout the dish, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately while hot.
