Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb pork neck slices, about 1/2-inch thick, laying them flat without crowding. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until edges are golden brown and pork is cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce and 1 tbsp soy sauce, stirring continuously to coat the pork slices. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky, turning pork slices to evenly coat.
  4. Step 4: Remove pork from skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Spoon remaining glaze over the meat.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately with 4 lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the pork for added brightness.
