Creating Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodle Buns can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by shredding the cabbage and boiling the noodles according to package instructions.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with shredded cabbage, cooked noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
4. Bind the Mixture: Sprinkle in the flour and mix until everything is evenly coated and holds together.
5. Form Buns: Take a small portion of the filling and shape it into a bun, then repeat with the remaining mixture. Aim for about 10-12 buns.
6. Heat Oil for Frying: In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
7. Fry the Buns: Place the buns in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Transfer to Paper Towels: Once golden, remove the buns and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Your delicious Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodle Buns are now ready to be served!
