Step 1
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Pour over 1 lb pork and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Cook the pork for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through (internal temp 145°F).
Step 3
While pork cooks, make the sauce: combine juice of 1 lime, remaining 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp fish sauce in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tbsp chopped cilantro.
Step 4
Slice the pork thinly against the grain. Serve over 2 cups cooked rice.
Step 5
Top with remaining cilantro, lime wedges, and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with extra lime on the side.
