Vietnamese Noodle Salad With Pork

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 3/4 lb.)
• Salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 8 ounces thin rice noodles (vermicelli) or angel-hair pasta
• 3 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

1. Cut pork tenderloin in half lengthwise (if it is thicker than 2 inches, cut into thirds lengthwise). Sprinkle salt and pepper over pork. Mist a ridged grill pan or skillet with nonstick cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat. Cook pork, turning as needed, until no longer pink in center, 11 to 13 minutes. Remove to a plate, tent with foil and let stand.
2. In a bowl, stir together lime juice, sugar, 1 tsp. black pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt until sugar is dissolved. In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until tender, 2 to 4 minutes (or according to package directions). Drain, rinse until cool and drain again. Place noodles in a large serving bowl and toss with 3/4 of lime-juice mixture. Gently mix in lettuce, carrots, mint and basil.
3. Thinly slice pork and place in a bowl. Toss with remaining lime-juice mixture. Top noodle salad with pork slices and any reserved juices and serve.
