How to Make Asian Pork Salad

  1. **Marinate the Pork:** In a non-reactive bowl, combine 2 lbs pork loin, 1/2 cup spicy hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. **Prepare the Ginger Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes.
  3. **Marinate:** Cover and refrigerate the pork in the marinade for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. **Prep the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 1 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped mint, 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, 1 cup bean sprouts, 1 cup shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers.
  5. **Grill the Pork:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, reserving 1/2 cup. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. **Rest and Slice:** Remove pork from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice crosswise into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  7. **Assemble the Salad:** Add the ginger dressing to the salad and toss to combine. Arrange the sliced pork over the salad on a platter.
  8. **Garnish:** Garnish with 1/4 cup roasted peanuts and serve immediately.
