Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix fish sauce, lime juice, minced chili, and brown sugar in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

  2. Step 2

    Pat pork neck dry. Toss with the marinade, coating both sides. Let sit 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches if needed, sear pork 3 minutes per side without moving—edges should char dark.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate. Drizzle any pan juices over the top and scatter cilantro over.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with lime wedges and jasmine rice or sticky rice on the side.
