Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large plums, halved and pitted
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1/2 small head napa cabbage, chopped (about 5 cups)
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed and chopped (about 1 cup)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)
1 cup bean sprouts, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup chopped roasted salted cashews

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the five-spice powder, brown sugar and cayenne in a small bowl. Butterfly the pork: Slice lengthwise down the center, stopping about ½ inch before cutting all the way through. Open the pork like a book and flatten slightly with your hands. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until ½ inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, then rub all over with the five-spice mixture; set aside. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
  • Make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, mustard and ginger in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Brush the pork with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Grill until well marked and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
  • Toss the plums and scallions with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill, turning, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the cutting board.
  • Combine the cabbage, snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts, mint and cashews in a serving bowl. Chop the pork, plums and scallions and add to the bowl along with the dressing; season with salt and black pepper and toss.
