Instructions
1
Prep
Slice the pork tenderloin thinly against the grain, then toss the slices in a bowl with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Shallow-fry the pork in a single layer for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until edges are golden and crisp.
3
Push the pork to one side, add the minced garlic and cracked black pepper to the cleared space, and stir over medium heat for 30 seconds until light gold.
4
Deglaze with fish sauce, sugar, and water, tossing everything for 1 minute until sauce reduces to a light glaze. Plate the rice, top with glazed pork, scatter cilantro, and arrange cucumber slices and lime wedge alongside.
