do you cook the noodles first
I saw a prepared kugel that was dairy with whole dried apricots in it. I didn't buy it, but it looked really nice.
I think you have a typo in the title - it's lukshen, or perhaps lukchen, but there's definitely a k sound at the end of the first syllable.
Yes, you definitely cook the noodles first, or at least you do in all the lukshen kugels I've ever made.
Eddy,
Yes you do cook the noodles first.

Gila,
If you look around you will see that it is just one of those words that can be spelled in many different ways using the English language however the pronunciation is the same.

Thank you so much for a great recipe! I tried it yesterday and it's already almost all gone. I had another recipe that was much heavier and did not taste as good as leftovers. Yours is definitely going into it's place in my cookbook. :)
Made this last night, my first attempt at noodle kugel, and it was totally great. Maybe a bit sweeter than we will do in the future, but my husband and I both loved it (it was his very first kugel ever). Will definitely enjoy it again!
@happybellynh was very happy to hear that you were successful in making one of my recipes and will adjust the sugar to your taste the next time. Please check out my other videos and recipes I am sure you will find something that you will like as well.
Have a happy holiday,

my grandmother made a version of this without the sour cream but with raisins and sometimes a shot of cinnamon..
aklein - There are many variations of luchen kugel and everyone is good. However if you are watching cholesterol and calories mine is a more healthier version. Without the sour cream and depending on how many eggs you use, etc. your version may be very healthy too.
Nice hearing from you,
Bubbe
