Chinese Roast Pork Tenderloin

Step 1

Place the porkloin in a large ziploc freezer bag.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the rest of the ingredients until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

Pour into the ziploc bag; remove as much air as possible and seal shut.

Step 4

Refrigerate from 6 to 36 hours (I prefer the longer marinade time).

Step 5

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 6

Remove porkloin from the marinade (discard remaining marinade); place on wire rack in a shallow baking pan.

Step 7

Insert meat thermometer.

Step 8

Roast about 1 hour or until the internal meat temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Step 9

Remove from oven and allow to rest on the wire rack for 15 minutes before removing thermometer.

Step 10

To serve as a main course, cut the porkloin into 1/4" slices.

Step 11

To serve as a Chinese appetizer, cut into 1/4" slices; arrange on platter with separate small bowls of Chinese hot mustard and untoasted sesame seeds.

Step 12

Enjoy it by first dipping a slice into the mustard, then into the sesame seeds.
