Caramelized Pork
1.5-2 pounds Pork Tenderloin
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Fish Sauce
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1 bunch Cilantro, Rough Chop
4 Chili Peppers (Fresh or Dried)
2 teaspoons Chinese 5-Spice Blend (to taste)
1/2 Jalapeno, Diced
Pickled Vegetables
1 handful baby carrots
3 Baby Cucumbers
1 handful Red Radishes
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon Szechuan Peppercorns (Optional)

1
Cut tenderloin across the grain of the meat into 1/2 inch pieces. MonkeyMom suggests flattening each piece between two pieces of cling film with a meat pounder; but I found the pork tender enough to flatten with the side of my knife on the cutting board. Either method will work, as long as you end up with 1/4 inch thick pork slices.
2
Mix ingredients from soy sauce to jalapeno in a mixing bowl to form your marinade. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needing; perhaps more 5-spice or peppers or a dash more fish sauce. Add the meat to the marinade by gently turning the pieces into the marinade to ensure an even coat throughout. Let sit for 15-30 minutes.
3
Serve immediately over a bed of rice with a side of picked Chinese vegetables; see below.
4
Cut vegetables into circles; and add all ingredients but the sesame seeds together. I like to use a Mason/Bell Jar so I can ensure all the sugar has dissolved; but a bowl will work just fine.
5
Pickle for at least an hour and serve on the side of your caramelized pork topped with the optional sesame seeds. MonkeyMom says they will keep for a few days... but we never have had extras!
