Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high until shimmering. Brown the pork cubes in batches, stirring occasionally, until golden on the edges, about 5 minutes total.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chopped cabbage directly to the pot and stir for 1 minute until it begins to soften and release moisture.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the beef broth. Stir in tomato paste, white vinegar, caraway seeds, and bay leaf until the paste dissolves.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until pork is tender and cabbage is soft.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot in bowls.
