Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb pork tenderloin into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Add the pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced red onion, diced pineapple, roasted peanuts, and trimmed green beans. Add the crispy pork.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Pour over the salad and toss well.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
