Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.

  2. Step 2

    Working in batches, pan-fry pork slices 2 minutes per side until golden brown and edges crisp. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 45 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Return pork to the skillet. Add fish sauce and sugar, tossing to coat evenly, 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze in half the lime juice. Toss once more to combine.

    Serve over jasmine rice with cilantro, lime wedges, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
