Chinese Barbecued Pork


Servings: 4 to 6 servings
Time:

  • 2 pork tenderloins: 1 to 1.5 lb total
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 1 tablespoon black bean sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger or 1 tsp ground
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar packed
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chinese chili paste
  • 1 green onion chopped



    Trim any fat from tenderloins, tuck thin ends under. Whisk remaining ingredients
    together, put into plastic bag, add tenderloins, seal bag and marinate in refrigerator
    for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally. Let stand at room
    temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

    Place tenderloins on rack in roasting pan, reserving marinade. Pour 1 cup water into pan.
    Bake, basting 4 times with reserved marinade, in 375 F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until
    meat still has hint of pink.

    Remove to cutting board and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before carving. (Because
    heat forces juices to the centre of meat, letting pork stand after cooking, tented with foil,
    allows time for the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat before carving.)




    Comments: This is so tasty. Serve it with a vegetable stirfry and rice or noodles.
