Chef John
"This pan-roasted pork loin uses lots of spices and an Asian-inspired marinade for a truly flavorful cut of meat. And it's perfect to use for a Vietnamese bahn mi sandwich!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place the roast on its side and split in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Make shallow slashes in a diamond pattern on both sides of each piece. Transfer halves to a flat dish.
- Whisk rice vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, pepper, and Chinese 5-spice powder together in a bowl. Pour sauce over the meat; turn each piece over several times to thoroughly coat. Let meat marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature. (Or transfer to a zip top bag and refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours.)
- Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Brown meat on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Transfer to a plate to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

It was a delight! Just the right amount if spice. I BBQ'd it instead of frying, and I will definitely be preparing it again! Next time it will be for guests.

Too salty, drop the sea salt and could use some sweetness, maybe add brown sugar.

Excellent!!! Although I made a few changes... mine ended tasting like a teriyaki loin, but it was delicious! I just loved the idea of cutting the meat and creating surface to marinate.
