I have been making fried cabbage and dumplings for years. The recipe is from my grandmother. I cook the shredded cabbage in olive oil with salt and pepper covered until the cabbage is soft. I do not boil my dumplings I fry them. with the cabbage. After the cabbage is soft I mix the flour and egg with a little chicken stock (or water if I do not have stock) and salt and pepper. I roll the dough out, cut into squares, and drop them into the pan with the cabbage. Simmer until the dumplings are cooked through. I lightly season with onion powder and garlic powder. It is delicious!!!!
