Step 4: Cook Dumplings: Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop small portions of the dumpling batter into the boiling water using two spoons (or press the batter through a spaetzle maker). Cook until the dumplings rise to the surface and are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 5: Combine and Serve: Gently fold the cooked dumplings into the tender cabbage in the large pot. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
