Ingredients:
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Serves: 4-6
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
2. Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on a baking sheet lined with foil.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
5. While the pork is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and whisk until the sauce thickens.
6. Brush the glaze over the pork tenderloin and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the pork is fully cooked.
7. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
