Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Rub pork slices with a little oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cook pork quickly (in batches), for 2-3 minutes, turning once.
Place all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
Arrange salad ingredients on a platter with the pork slices. Drizzle over the dressing and serve straightaway.
Cook pork slices in batches in the frying pan to prevent overcrowding and the pork steaming rather than browning.
Sambal oelek can be replaced with 1 deseeded and finely chopped red chilli or your favourite hot chilli sauce.
Add any of the following to your salad:
150g steamed green beans
1 finely sliced red or yellow capsicum
1 cup cooked sweetcorn -dry fry to add a charred flavour
1 ripe avocado, peeled and coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds or any toasted seeds or nuts
