Instructions

• Heat the oil in an extra-wide skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
• Add the cabbage and wine, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is limp just beginning to brown lightly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in plenty of rapidly simmering water until just tender. Drain and transfer to a large serving container, then stir in the Earth Balance.
• Add the cabbage mixture and poppy seeds to the noodles and toss gently but thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and lots of pepper, and serve at once.
