Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm sticky rice in a microwave or stovetop until hot, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.

  2. Step 2

    Mince garlic. Whisk together fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and 1 tbsp lime juice in a small bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Pat pork dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Sear pork 6–7 minutes per side without moving until internal temp reaches 145°F (medium). Brush with glaze every 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Rest pork 2 minutes, slice into strips, and serve over sticky rice with remaining lime wedges.
