Here is a recipe that I came up with after mixing and matching a couple different recipes.
WARNING: make sure you close all the doors in your house and open all the windows. We don't have a fan above our stove so the soy sauce smell lingers! It's delicious though.
Ingredients
1/2-1 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed (we don't eat a lot of meat so I usually only cook with 1/2 lb. of pork and freeze the other half for another day)
1/4 c. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. Sambal sauce (Thai chili sauce with seeds)
1 Tbsp. white or rice vinegar
1 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. of minced garlic
2 Tbsp. of minced fresh ginger or 2 Tbsp. of lemongrass in a tube (sounds weird but is super convenient)
1/4 lb. of spinach (stems removed)
1 cup of bean sprouts
half package of rice noodles
To make marinade:
Mix soy sauce, Sambal sauce, vinegar, orange zest, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
Place pork tenderloin in the marinade for 5-10 minutes. Set aside. Meanwhile heat 2 Tbsp. of oil in a pan. Add marinaded pork tenderloin and sear for 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. Drain oil and add marinade sauce to pan. Heat marinade until it boils for 1 minute (be sure it boils or else you will not cook out the pork juices). Remove marinade and set aside. Add spinach and bean sprouts to the pan. Add about 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for extra seasoning. Stir-fry spinach and bean sprouts until spinach wilts.
Meanwhile follow package directions for rice noodles. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes to cook.
When all cooking is completed, layer your dish starting with rice noodles on the bottom, spinach and bean sprouts next, and then pork tenderloin on top. Feel free to add more bean sprouts and spinach for another layer of tasty goodness.
One of these days I will put up a picture of my food. For now, enjoy!
