hoisin pork tenderloin

Dinner
Preheat the oven to 475°F. While the oven heats, combine the hoisin, soy sauce, sugar, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small unheated saucepan.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Dash crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen noodles or 2 cups hot cooked rice
  • Sliced green onions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°. Off the heat, mix first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Place tenderloin on a greased rack in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan; brush with 1/4 cup hoisin mixture. Roast until a thermometer reads 145°, 15-20 minutes.
  2. Stir water into remaining hoisin mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to blend, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Keep warm.
  3. Remove pork from oven; let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting seasoning packets; drain. Serve with pork; top with sauce and green onions.
