Recipe View 35 mins Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, minced garlic, Asian fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, sea salt, black pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the pork to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or transfer it to a zip-top bag and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours for a deeper flavor infusion. (35 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Pan-Roast the Pork: Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Brown the pork on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, achieving a rich, caramelized crust. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the center reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Rest and Serve: Transfer the pan-roasted pork loin to a plate and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. (5 minutes)

For an even more intense flavor, consider marinating the pork overnight.
If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, any heavy-bottomed pan will work.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spice.
Serve with steamed rice and your favorite Asian vegetables for a complete meal.
