Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp thai chili paste
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1 pork tenderloin weighing about 1lb(you want to get at least 30 slices)
scallion, thinly sliced for garnish
TIP: TIP: IF YOU DON'T HAVE ESPECIALLY SHARP KNIVES, FREEZE THE PORK TENDERLOIN AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE SLICING.

Steps:

1. Mix chili paste, soy, vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper flakes in a small bowl.
2. Place your thinly sliced pork in a quart-size zipperlock bag; add marinade, mix well and seal. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 2 days(great make ahead recipe).
3. When ready to serve, adjust oven rack to highest position and turn broiler on high.
4. Thread each pork slice onto a toothpick(soak the picks in water for at least an hour so they don't burn easily) and place on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
5. Broil until golden brown and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. For extra flavor and great color, garnish with thinly sliced scallion greens and serve.
