Szechuan Grilled Pork and Bean Sprout Salad
A spicy and refreshing salad with grilled pork and bean sprouts
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Szechuan peppercorns
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 1/2 tbsp chili flakes
- 4 cups bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes to make a marinade.
- Place the pork slices in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine the grilled pork, blanched bean sprouts, cilantro, and green onions.
- Serve the salad chilled, garnished with extra cilantro and green onions if desired.
