THAI SPICY FRIED MEAT SALAD

Thai Spicy Fried Meat Salad aka Nam-tok Moo/Neeu Nam-tok in Thai.
Who can resist this yum, yum delicious meat salad especially after 9-10 days of strict vegetarian diet?  The sweet, savoury and sourish dressing together with fragrant, tender fried black pepper flavoured meat and aromatic vegetables are absolutely salivating. 
Can't wait to quickly indulge in it after mixing of the ingredients. Tam Chiak, NO!, it is finger licking good.  I think you can use beef tenderloin for this salad too.
Recipe adapted from a Thai cookbook 'Healthy and Easy Thai Cooking' [my selected cookbook for Cookbook Countdown Event#10] with modifications.


Ingredients For Fried Meat
2 slices pork tenderloin
1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp castor sugar
1/4 tsp salt to taste
1/2-1 tsp black pepper powder
Other Ingredients
1 large onion - thinly sliced
1 stalk spring onions, coriander leaves - chopped
1/2 red chilli - seeded and chopped
1/2 cup mint leaves
some chilli flakes and toasted ground peanuts
2 tbsp each of sugar and fish sauce
2-3 tbsp lime juice
some crispy fried peanuts or ground peanuts
  1. Marinate pork with seasoning for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Pan fry marinated meat slices until cooked and brown.  Dish up and cut into strips.
  3.  Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Add in sliced meat, toss well and serve with fresh vegetables such as cabbage or long beans [optional].
