I love Asian flavors and have been making Asian dishes at home at least once a week for a few years. Once I got over my fear of trying to cook Asian food that is and realized just how simple it really was. Most of the dishes I cook are beef dishes that I have substituted with chicken since I try not to cook with red meat as much as possible. I decided I wanted to start making some pork dishes as well and this is one I came up with.
Ingredients
- 2
- pork tenderloins (or 3lb loin or shoulder roast)
- 8 clove
- garlic (minced)
- 1 Tbsp
- ginger (minced)
- 6 Tbsp
- cooking sherry (dry)
- 1 c
- hoisin sauce
- 1 c
- plum sauce
- 1 c
- soy sauce
- 1 c
- honey
- 1/4 c
- sugar
- 1 Tbsp
- sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 bunch
- green onions (thinly sliced with greens)
How to Make Asian Pork Tenderloin
- 1Preheat oven on 375. Trim (remove silverskin)and season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in olive oil. Set aside.
- 2Heat pan back up and add a bit more olive oil and sear minced garlic and ginger for about 1 minute. Add hoisin, plum sauce, soy sauce, honey, sherry, sesame oil, sugar and red pepper flakes if you like it a bit spicy. Let simmer for at least five minutes. Turn off and stir in onions.
- 3Place tenderloins in baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Cook in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Let stand a bit before slicing. If using a roast which will require more baking time bake for a bit and pour sauce in when 30 mins of cooking time left as not to burn the sauce.
