CHIPOTLE-MANDARIN GLAZED PORK TENDERLOINS WITH ASIAN SLAW

Steps:

• Combine about half of the bottle of Mandarin Glaze with the diced chipotle and about 1/2 teaspoon of the adobo sauce in the can. The Mandarin Glaze already has a healthy spice to it so you may want to start by adding 1/2 of a diced chipotle and then taste and add more chipotle or adobo sauce to achieve that perfect heat and smoky flavor. Brush the glaze on the pork tenderloins for the last 2-5 minutes of cooking. SLAW This spicy-sweet pork pairs perfectly with a tangy asian slaw, which is easy to whip up while that pork is grillin' away to tender perfection. Start by degorging the slivered cabbage. Degorging is the process of drawing moisture from vegetables. This will make the cabbage softer and help remove any bitterness. Simply put the cabbage slivers in a colander with a generous few pinches of kosher salt. Let it sit in the sink or over a bowl (it will release a good amount of water) for about 15 minutes. Rinse and drain the cabbage and squeeze out any excess water. Put the rinsed cabbage in a bowl along with the diced English cucumber (English cucumbers are great because the skin is soft enough that you don't have to bother with peeling them), grated carrot, sliced scallions, diced red bell pepper and chopped fresh cilantro. Toss the vegetables together. Make the dressing by whisking together the seasoned rice vinegar, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice. If you don't have a juicer, a hand held juicer like this one (below) is a hand-saver! Especially when it comes to juicing smaller fruits like limes. They're also easier to juice if you heat them in the microwave for a few seconds and put pressure on them with your palm as you roll them on the counter before slicing them. Pour the dressing over the top of the vegetables and gently toss. Top with some toasted sesame seeds.
