Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin sliced thinly against the grain
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste such as sambal oelek
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for extra heat
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, chili paste, garlic, ginger, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lime juice. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  4. Remove the pork from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Arrange the pork slices in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm but still slightly pliable.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
