pork

this recipe looks like spicy chicken glass noodle salad but taste completely different!!!

ingredients:

– 450 gr pork tenderloin ( filet de pork, varkenshaas, filete de cerdo)
– 120 gr korean sweet potato noodles (vermicelles patate douce, zoete aardappel noedels)
– 1 cucumber, cut in little dices
– 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
– 7 tablespoons nam pla (thai fish sauce, I prefer the one made of anchovies
– zest of 1 lime
– 6 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
– 1 tablespoon brown cane sugar
– 3 spicy chilli peppers, or to taste, if you don’t have it, use cayenne or chilli powder
– fresh cilantro (coriander)
– olive oil
– ground chilli pepper (cayenne)
– 50 gr chopped cashew nuts
– nice lettuce leaves

directions:

– mixture: mix 4 tablespoons of fish sauce with 4 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 chilli pepper with seeds chopped into little pieces, 1 tablespoon of brown cane sugar, coriander leaves, roughly chopped. Put aside, it should be salty, sweet, sour and hot.

– fill a large pot with water, bring it to boil. Once the water is boiling, put in the sweet potato noodles and take of the heat. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. The noodles have to be cooked through but still firm to bite.
Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water. They have to be cooled down completely.
Put them into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 finely chopped chilli pepper with seeds.
Add the sliced onions and the cucumber. Toss well.

– prepare the pork. Remove all the greasy parts from the pork tenderloin and shred it into very small pieces (like minced pork, but it taste better if you shred it yourself instead of buying it minced)
Heat the olive oil in a wok, put it the shredded pork. After 2 minutes add the remaining chili pepper , cut into little pieces with seeds again. Stir until the meat is well done. Season with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce.

– add the hot pork to the bowl and some extra coriander. Put the mixture on top. Toss well.

– top with chopped cashew nuts and some ground chilli pepper.

– serve on a lettuce leave!!!

so delicious!!!
