Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork tenderloin is a lean, tender cut of meat that is perfect for this recipe. It cooks quickly and evenly, and it has a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin. Marinating the pork tenderloin in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin. Searing the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet helps to create a crispy exterior and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin in the oven. After searing the pork tenderloin, transfer it to a baking dish and cook it in the oven until it is cooked through. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the sauce. While the pork tenderloin is cooking, make the sauce by combining soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook it until it has thickened.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin. Once the pork tenderloin is cooked through, slice it into thin slices and serve it with the sauce. You can also garnish the dish with green onions or sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Chinese pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar, then seared and cooked in the oven until tender.
