Bahn Mi Bowl---Instant Pot

When I first came across this recipe I knew we'd love it. Although when my husband saw it on our menu for the week he questioned it being in a bowl rather than a sandwich. But after last night he's a believer, this was so good. We ate every last bite.





Bahn Mi Bowl
1 lb pork tenderloin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
5 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp vegetable oil
Rice noodles (I used Pad Thai)
Pickled Carrots, Cucumbers  and Radishes:
6 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp coconut aminos
5 green onions
1 bunch cilantro
1 large cucumber sliced
4 large carrots sliced
4 radishes sliced
* I use the Cuisinart attachment to slice all together, including cilantro and green onions

Season pork with salt and pepper.
Set saute on high on Instant pot
Add sesame oil and vegetable oil.
Saute pork loin until brown on all sides.
While it sautes, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic cloves.
Pour over pork.
I did my pork on the slow cook function for 1 hour and 10 minutes. You could use the meat function as well for 25 minutes. (More or less depending on size of loin)
Make pickled carrots and radishes.
Combine the white vinegar, sugar and salt.
Pour over shredded carrots and radishes, toss well and store in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
When pork is done take it out and either shred or cut it into pieces.
Place back in Instant Pot to allow it to soak up the remaining sauce.
Place noodles on bottom of bowl, drizzle with a little soy sauce
Add pork, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, red cabbage, cilantro, green onions. Jalapenos would be a great topper as well, ours last night just happened to be extremely spicy.
Enjoy!
