Asian Marinated Pork Tenderloin gets a major flavor boost from a quick and easy marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and other classic Asian ingredients.
Fresh ginger is a secret weapon I always have on hand. Whenever I have leftovers, I peel, wrap in plastic and store in the freezer to grate into stir-fries, salads, soups and smoothies for weeks to come.
The best part? Ginger aids in digestion and adds immense flavor with virtually zero calories. Win Win!
As with any Asian style recipe, the key is creating a balance of spicy, salty, sour and sweet flavors. Speaking of sweet, my pork tenderloin is made with Bonne Maman Golden Plum Mirabelle Preserves made with just that: plums! No artificial ingredients required. Ripe mirabelle plums provide the perfect balance to salty soy sauce, tangy rice vinegar and spicy ginger.
