Add 1 tbsp of salt to 4 L of water in a large stock pot and bring to a rolling boil.

Add 250 g of rectangular egg noodles to the boiling water and stir occasionally while cooking.

Cook the noodles until they are tender but firm, then drain the water off in a colander.

Rinse the noodles with a bit of warm water and transfer them to a large bowl.

Add 2 tbsp of margarine to the hot noodles to prevent them from sticking together and let it melt.

Add 2 tbsp of ground poppy seed mixture to the noodles and mix well to combine.

Serve the dish warm, keeping the noodles in the oven until ready to serve.
