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
-
2pork tenderloins (or 3lb loin or shoulder roast)
-
8 clovegarlic (minced)
-
1 Tbspginger (minced)
-
6 Tbspcooking sherry (dry)
-
1 choisin sauce
-
1 cplum sauce
-
1 csoy sauce
-
1 choney
-
1/4 csugar
-
1 Tbspsesame oil
-
1 Tbspred pepper flakes (optional)
-
2 bunchgreen onions (thinly sliced with greens)
How to Make Asian Pork Tenderloin
- Preheat oven on 375. Trim (remove silverskin)and season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in olive oil. Set aside.
- Heat 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.
- Place 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.
