• pork tenderloin↗2
• sugar↗1⁄3 cup
• green onion, sliced↗1⁄3 cup
• garlic cloves, minced↗3
• lime juice↗1 tablespoon
• fish sauce↗1 tablespoon
• salt↗1⁄2 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Combine the sugar, green onions, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce and salt in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Add the tenderloins, making sure they are coated with the marinade.

3. 3

   Let sit in the fridge for as short as 4 hours, as long as 24 hours, turning when you can.

4. 4

   Heat grill or broiler in your oven. But the outdoor grill is best.

5. 5

   My brother's trick to grill these is to put them on the grill, on medium heat, and cover for 7 minutes, not disturbing them. Then turn over for 6 minutes. And then turn off the grill and let rest for 5.

6. 6

   With my propane grill, I do them for 8,7,6. You want a bit of pink showing in the middle but almost all white.

7. 7

   I love to eat these with a thai sweet and hot sauce, kids love them with plum sauce, and some just like them as is.
