I found this recipe in a Swedish mag this week and we had it for dinner this week, it was fab. The translation looks ok :fingerscrossed:

Pork tenderloin with lime and Asian sauce

600 grams pork tenderloin, with silver skin removed

Marinade:
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce or oyster sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 shallots
2 garlic cloves
1 red chili pepper seeded or 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1/2 bunch of fresh coriander
3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (not olive oil)

Sauce
1 lime: first grate the peel for lime zest, then squeeze the juice
(sometimes limes are very dry and hard: you might have to use two or three)
2 cm or 3 inch bit of fresh ginger, peeled and grated with the finest grate
2 garlic cloves, finelly chopped or pressed
2 tablespoons raw sugar or dark brown muscovado sugar
1 red chili pepper seeded or 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
2 tablespoons fish sauce or oyster sauce

Preparation:
Slice the pork tenderloin into 2 centimetre slices
Mix all the marinade ingredients together. Marinate the pork slices in the marinade for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

After the hour, remove the meat from the marinade, and save the marinade.

Heat wok or pan to high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and saute the garlic for the sauce. Add the meat and fry until well cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining liquid from the marinade and all the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer for about 4 minutes.

Chop the rest of the coriander and sprinkle it over the dish just before serving with rice or Asian noodles.
