  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tbsp shallot, minced
  • ½ tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • ¼ tsp Chinese Five-Spice Blend
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 pork tenderloin (or pork belly), cut into small bite-sized pieces removing fat
  • 1 cup radish, julienne (matchsticks)
  • ¾ cup tomato, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp green onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
  1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. (Reserve 1 tbsp of rice vinegar.)
  2. Add sugar to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. As sugar starts to dissolve, stir frequently until caramelized.
  3. Stir sugar into sauce.
  4. Pour ¾ of sauce over chopped pork and marinate in fridge for an hour.
  5. If you're making your own tostada shells fry them in vegetable oil while pork is marinating.
  6. To make your slaw combine radish, tomato, cilantro, green onion, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and a sprinkle of sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
  7. Warm a little olive oil in a skillet and saute pork until done (approx 5-6 minutes until no longer pink). Let cool slightly.
  8. To build your tostadas start with adding pork to each shell.
  9. Next add avocado.
  10. Drizzle on the rest of your sauce.
  11. Then Asian slaw.
  12. Top with sesame seeds.
