Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the pork
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper and the turmeric spice blend.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into ½-inch-thick slices. While the pork is cooking and resting, prepare the salad.
2
Make the cabbage salad
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
- Remove any stems from the grapes; cut the grapes in half.
- Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely tear the leaves.
- Keeping the “creamy” pineapple dressing in the container, vigorously shake the dressing until well combined; set aside for serving.
In a large bowl, stir together the nuoc cham base and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Add the cabbage, grapes, basil, and carrots and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the salad to individual bowls and top with the pork. Drizzle with the “creamy” pineapple dressing, garnish with the sesame seeds, and serve.
