  • Step 4: Cut tenderloin into 2 inch pieces and shred with two forks

  • Step 5: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. Add half of pork to the pan and saute until browned and edges are crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally. Repeat with the remaining oils and pork.

  • Step 6: To serve place lettuce leaves on plates and divide the pork evenly among leaves. Top with cucumbers and onions. Drizzle hoisin sauce over each serving and pass the sambol oelek.
