Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles until tender; drain well.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking over medium heat. Add the onion and ham and cook until the ham is lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin seeds and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage, apple, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cabbage is just tender, about 4 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, and cornstarch. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened, about 1 minute.

Transfer the ham and cabbage mixture to a large bowl, add the noodles, and toss to combine. Divide the noodle mixture among 4 bowls and serve.

(Smoked turkey or chicken can be substituted for the ham)
