TO MAKE THE PORK

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame oil, chili oil, rice vinegar, and tamari.

2. In a large zipper bag, combine the pork with the marinade. Marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 10 hours.

3. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

4. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.

5. Remove the pork from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.

6. Sear the tenderloin on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.

7. Transfer the tenderloin to the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature registers 145°F, about 15 to 20 minutes. Rest, tented with foil, for 20 minutes.

8. Cut the tenderloin into ½-inch thick slices.

TO MAKE THE NOODLES

1. In a large sauté pan, heat the coconut oil and chili oil over medium-high heat.

2. Add the scallions, ginger, and zucchini noodles. Cook, stirring frequently, until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until it is fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.

4. Stir in the nut butter sauce, cooking until it is warmed through, about 1 minute.

5. Stir in the cilantro, and serve the noodles topped with the tenderloin.

Spiralizer alternative:
If you have an hourglass spiralizer, you can replace the jicama with 2 large, peeled carrots.

1 medium jicama, peeled, ends cut flat, and spiralized into spaghetti noodles

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound linguica, cut into 1-inch pieces

½ onion, chopped

½ red pepper, seeded and chopped

½ yellow pepper, seeded and chopped

½ green pepper, seeded and chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a chopping blade, pulse the jicama noodles until it resembles rice, about 10 one-second pulses. Set aside.

2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3. Add the linguica and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the linguica from the pot with a slotted spoon and set it aside.

4. In the same pot, add the onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

5. Add the garlic cloves and cook, stirring constantly, until it is fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.
