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.
Step 2
Add the chopped cabbage directly to the pot and stir for 1 minute until it begins to soften and release moisture.
Step 3
Pour in the beef broth. Stir in tomato paste, white vinegar, caraway seeds, and bay leaf until the paste dissolves.
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.
Step 5
Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot in bowls.
