Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork tenderloin, sliced thinly
• 1 block firm tofu, cubed
• 8 oz rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red chili, minced
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

To start, prepare the marinade for the pork by combining the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and chili in a bowl. Add the sliced pork to the marinade, making sure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the pork is marinating, cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together the fish sauce, lime juice, and rice vinegar to make the spicy dip. Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, and sugar as needed.

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into thin strips.

In the same grill or pan, cook the tofu cubes until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the salad by arranging the cooked rice vermicelli noodles, sliced pork, crispy tofu, julienned cucumber, shredded carrot, and sliced red bell pepper on a large serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint and cilantro leaves, chopped peanuts, and serve with the spicy dip on the side.
