Pork Sandwich W/ Spicy Mango Cucumber Slaw
- For the pork
- 6 Ciabatta Rolls
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Shoyu (or soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- For the slaw
- 1 barely ripe mango, shredded with a box grater (or food procssor attachment)
- 1 English (or Kirby) Cucumber, shredded
- 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- juice of 1 lime
- Pinch salt
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- At least half an hour before you start cooking, marinate the meat by whisking the shoyu, honey and ginger together in a bowl. Coat the tenderloins, cover and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0 and heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. Coat the pan in a little oil or cooking spray (to prevent sticking), then add the tenderloins and marinade once the pan is hot.
- Sear them on each side until they become brown and the liquid reduces a bit. Tent the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140u0b0. If you don't have a meat thermometer, just slice it in the thickest part. The inside should be a very pale pink.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and slice the tenderloins into 1/2-inch rounds. Return to pan and coat with any juices.
- While the pork is cooking, make the slaw by combining the mango, cucumber, green onions, serrano pepper, cilantro, mint, olive oil, lime juice and salt in bowl. Set aside.
- To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls then top with a few rounds of pork and a heap of the mango slaw.
