Ingredients for Hot German Buttered Noodles

  • 1 gallon of water
  • Chicken Bouillon Cubes
  • Wide Egg Noodles
  • 6 ounces (170g) butter
  • Fresh parsley (optional)
  • Ritz Crackers

How to Make Hot German Buttered Noodles

  1. In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add 1 Maggi chicken bouillon cube and stir to dissolve.
  2. Add 1 pound of egg noodles to the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute longer than the package directions indicate, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the noodles cook, prepare the butter sauce: In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, combine ½ cup water, ½ Maggi chicken bouillon cube, and 6 ounces (170g) of butter.
  4. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir well.
  5. If the butter is not completely melted, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until the butter and bouillon are fully dissolved and smooth.
  6. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them thoroughly (do not rinse). Immediately add the butter mixture to the pot.
  7. Toss the noodles and butter sauce together until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 1 minute).
  8. Serve immediately, garnished generously with crushed Ritz crackers and fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
