Ingredients
Instructions
- On a dough board, measure the flour.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and add the egg and salt.
- Knead the mixture well until the dough is smooth.
- Let the dough stand for a few minutes, then roll out thinly and cut into small squares.

- Drain the cooked noodles and add them to the prepared sauerkraut along with the chopped onion and butter.
- Stir well and cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of caraway seeds to the sauerkraut. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. You can also use pre-packaged egg noodles instead of making your own for a quicker meal. Adding some cooked bacon or sausage can enhance the dish’s heartiness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve haluski warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with a side of sautéed greens or a simple green salad. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a protein like grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it as a comforting dish on its own.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover haluski in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring occasionally until heated through.
