In detail

Strapačky are small square noodles, boiled and then tossed with fried sauerkraut and sheep cheese, a classic Slovak dish.

Small boiled noodles are a common starch across Central Europe, and the Slovak version stands out for its fried sauerkraut and its salty sheep cheese. It is a filling dish made from flour, cabbage and cheese.

What it really is

Square noodles are cut from a dough of flour, egg and water, boiled in salted water until tender, and drained. Sauerkraut is fried in butter with diced onion until it softens and turns golden at the edges. The drained noodles go into the pan with the cabbage, and the two are tossed together with sheep cheese. The sauerkraut brings the sourness, the cheese brings salt and richness, and the butter binds everything. The classic version has no meat. Recipes differ in how much butter and cheese they use, and in whether the cheese is mixed through or sprinkled on top.

How it's served

Hot, straight from the pan, on a warm plate.
With the noodles and sauerkraut mixed through and the cheese still soft.
As a main course, usually on its own.

Name the dish as Strapačky and describe it as small square egg noodles with fried sauerkraut and sheep cheese.

Say whether the cheese is mixed in or sprinkled on top, and that it is sheep cheese, so guests with a dairy allergy know to ask.
