Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season pork with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until golden on two sides, ~3 minutes total.

  2. Step 2

    Remove pork to a plate. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and light brown, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in paprika and caraway seeds for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits.

  4. Step 4

    Return pork to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, ~5 minutes. Stir in sour cream off heat until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, ~8 minutes. Drain and toss with the pork and sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with fresh dill or parsley if you have it.
