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.
Step 2
Remove pork to a plate. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and light brown, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in paprika and caraway seeds for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits.
Step 4
Return pork to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, ~5 minutes. Stir in sour cream off heat until smooth.
Step 5
Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, ~8 minutes. Drain and toss with the pork and sauce.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with fresh dill or parsley if you have it.
