- In a large glass dish, brush the meat with the reserved third of the dragon sauce. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Salad
- On a plate, lightly oil the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
- Grill the meat for 4 minutes on each side for rare or until the desired doneness. Set aside on a plate. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. At the same time, grill the asparagus until al dente. Let cool. On a work surface, cut the asparagus into rounds.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Lightly oil.
- In a bowl, combine the noodles, asparagus and green onion with half of the refrigerated dragon sauce.
- In another bowl, combine the apple, herbs and lime juice.
- On a work surface, slice the pork. Divide the pork and noodles among four plates. Cover with the remaining dragon sauce. Top with the apple mixture. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
