For a change of pace, instead of Chinese take out, why not make some great Chinese food in your own kitchen? This recipe for Chinese Style Pork Tenderloin is packed with tantalizing Asian flavors and is simple and quick to make.
Chinese Style Pork Tenderloin Ingredients:
•
1 pound pork tenderloin
Preparation:
Place pork in a shallow nonmetallic dish. In a bowl, combine soy, hot bean and hoisin sauces, garlic, five spice powder and sugar and mix well. Pour mixture over pork, cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours. Drain pork, reserving marinade.
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue, then brush grill with vegetable oil. Grill pork until tender, 4 – 5 minutes each side, brushing with reserved marinade during cooking.
Remove from grill, wrap in aluminum foil and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Cook cabbage in a saucepan of boiling water until tender, 3 – 5 minutes. Drain and spoon into serving bowls.
Thickly slice pork and serve on top of warm cabbage.
