Caramelized Lemongrass Pork & Green Mango Salad

This vibrant salad elevates the classic Vietnamese 'Goi' by replacing boiled meat with savory, caramelized pork tenderloin seared with lemongrass. The richness of the pork pairs perfectly with the tart crunch of green mangoes and the brightness of fresh herbs.

Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
2 stalks lemongrass, minced (white part only)
4 tbsp fish sauce, divided
3 tbsp brown sugar, divided
2 large green mangoes (or Granny Smith apples), julienned
1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
3 tbsp lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bird's eye chili, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced pork, minced lemongrass, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the pork marinates, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lime juice, remaining 3 tablespoons fish sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, minced garlic, and chili in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary).

  4. 4

    Sear the pork without moving it for 2 minutes to develop a crust, then stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    In a large salad bowl, combine the julienned green mango, carrot, mint, and cilantro.

  6. 6

    Add the warm cooked pork to the salad bowl.

  7. 7

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat every ingredient.

  8. 8

    Transfer to serving plates and garnish generously with crushed roasted peanuts immediately before serving.
