Steffi has been a friend of our family for over 40 years, and this kugel recipe has been in her family as long as she can remember. Ever since I was a child, we would have this amazing noodle kugel on the Jewish high holidays or at random Sunday brunches. People love this kugel so much that she was encouraged to enter it in the 2012 New York State Fair and it won the Blue Ribbon in the Favorite Ethnic Dish category! Leftovers can be frozen.

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
⅓ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Wide egg noodles or lokshen noodles are the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of noodles, such as penne or macaroni.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the kugel will not hold its shape.
  • Use a generous amount of butter or margarine: The butter or margarine will help to keep the kugel moist and flavorful. Don't skimp on this ingredient!
  • Add plenty of eggs: Eggs are another important ingredient in lokshin kugel. They help to bind the ingredients together and give the kugel a rich, custard-like texture.
  • Season the kugel well: Salt, pepper, and onion powder are all essential seasonings for lokshin kugel. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or dill.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown: The kugel should be baked until the top is golden brown and the center is set. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Conclusion:

Lokshin kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is perfect for potlucks, holiday dinners, or any other special occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, lokshin kugel is a must-try for any home cook.
