Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons sambal oelek (Asian chili paste)
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons nam pla (Asian fish sauce)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon safflower oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 14 ounces), trimmed
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh red Thai chile
5 ounces rice vermicelli
2 cucumbers, preferably Persian, very thinly sliced lengthwise, preferably on a mandoline
1/2 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 small shallot, very thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
Garnish: cilantro, mint, and basil sprigs

Steps:

  • Rub sambal oelek, 2 teaspoons nam pla, and 1 teaspoon oil over pork to coat completely. Let marinate in refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat grill to high. Grill pork, rotating often, until charred on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 140 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons nam pla and tablespoon safflower oil, the lime juice, sugar, and chile in a large bowl until sugar dissolves.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Drain very well, and add to bowl with sauce.
  • Thinly slice pork on the bias, and add to bowl along with cucumbers, carrot, shallot, and chopped herbs. Toss well to coat, and arrange on a platter. Garnish with herb sprigs.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh pork, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • When grilling the pork, cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the pork, or it will become tough.
  • While the pork is grilling, cook the noodles according to the package directions.
  • Once the pork and noodles are cooked, assemble the salad. Start by placing the noodles in a large bowl. Then, add the pork, vegetables, and herbs. Toss to combine.
  • Finally, drizzle the salad with the dressing and serve.

Conclusion:

This grilled pork noodle salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. The salad is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
