Asian Pork Tenderloin With Spicy Asian Cole Slaw image

I just saw this in Cuisine at Home magazine that I subscribe to, and it looked so good I just had to try it, and it was wonderful! Family loved it, even the picky daughter said she liked the cabbage. Now there's a good vote! The recipe calls for 2- 1 to 1 1/2 pound tenderloins...I used a 2.13 pound loin roast, (in one piece), and only adjusted the cooking time by 10 minutes. I wanted a starch to go with this meal, so I cooked up a package of Tap Ramen with the water and flavor packet, then let the water absorb into the noodles. This was a great meal!

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 (1 -1 1/2 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed of all silverskin and excess fat
2 tablespoons Chinese five spice powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/3 cup chinese plum sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
fresh chives (for garnish)
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon chinese plum sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
6 cups green cabbage, cubed
1 cup red bell pepper, julienned
2/3 cup carrot, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • FOR THE TENDERLOIN:.
  • Preheat oven to 400*F.
  • Combine Five-Spice, salt and pepper, and rub over tenderloins.
  • Heat oil in oven-proof saute pan over medium-high; sear pork on all sides, 5-8 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven and roast 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 140*F.
  • Remove pork from pan and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • FOR THE SAUCE:.
  • In same pan, whisk together the next 8 ingredients, (plum sauce through chili-garlic sauce), and cook while meat is resting.
  • FOR THE SLAW:.
  • Whisk first 6 ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In oil, saute cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and ginger in skillet on high heat.
  • After 1 minute, add salt. (The salt flavors the vegetables, but also draws moisture from the cabbage, helping it to wilt faster. This was quite fast and dramatic.).
  • Continue to saute for 2 minutes or until cabbage begins to wilt.
  • Stir in reserved sauce and cook 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  • Place slaw on platter, slice pork and lay over top of slaw, and serve with a dollpop of pan sauce.
