Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 whole lime
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 medium carrot
  • ½ head green cabbage

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the 1 lb pork tenderloin into bite-size strips. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and cook the pork until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

    Whisk together the juice of 2 limes, 2 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. This is your dressing.
