1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and brown pork tenderloin on all sides.

3. Bake pork in the oven until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reaches 70°C (160°F) for medium-rare doneness, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove roast from oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let sit for about 5 minutes and then cut into thin slices.

4. Cook vermicelli in a large saucepan of boiling water. Drain and set aside.

5. Meanwhile, in another large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add mushrooms and carrots and let simmer for 2 minutes.

6. Divide the rice vermicelli into 2 large bowls. Top each serving with slices of pork and then cover with broth. 

7. Garnish with sprouts, green onion, cilantro, hot pepper, and lime. Serve.
