EASY CHINESE PORK TENDERLOIN



Easy Chinese Pork Tenderloin image

Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade for a minimum of 6 hours. I LOVE this pork cold sliced into salads or fried rice, or just about anyway LOL! I most always double this recipe and make 4 pork tenderloins at one time then vacum-pac and freeze to use anytime in recipes. If you are serving it cold, then only slice up what you are using, as the pork will dry out faster once you slice it.

Categories     Pork

Time 7h30m

Yield 2 pork tenderloins

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 tenderloins)
4 slices fresh ginger
3 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic (optional)
5 green onions or 5 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry wine
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the pork under cold water; pat very dry with paper towels.
  • Cut slits (about 1/2-inch deep, or a little less) in the pork with a sharp knife to absorb the marinade, then place in a glass baking dish.
  • Combine ginger, green onions, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sherry, sugar, hoisin sauce, garlic (if using) and black pepper.
  • Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat well on all sides.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours, turning every so often to make certain to coat all sides of the pork.
  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Place the pork on a rack on top of a baking sheet or pan, reserve the marinade, you can sprinkle with salt if desired.
  • Roast for about 1-1/2 hours (it might take longer or shorter than 1-1/2 hours, best to use a meat thermometer for this), basting with marinade every 15 minutes.
  • Serve the pork warm or cold.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork tenderloin is cooked by cutting into the thickest part. If the juices run clear, it is done.
  • To make the sauce, you can use any type of Asian-inspired sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, or sweet and sour sauce. You can also make your sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a side of steamed broccoli, asparagus, or green beans.

Conclusion:

This Asian-inspired pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and savory. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
