This is really good. I added slices of fresh ginger to the marinade and marinaded for several hours. Instead of throwing away the marinade, I boiled it down into a fabulous sauce that I served over the sliced pork. TRY THIS!! I promise, you will thank me....

Wow! Was this ever fantastic! I adapted this for Once a Month Cooking by putting the pork in a ziploc bag, adding the marinade and then tossing it into the freezer. The night before serving I took it out of the freezer and let it sit in the fridge all day. I baked it as directed and the meat was so tender and flavourful. Thanks for sharing this, we really enjoyed it!

This is hands down one of the best pork tenderloins I have ever had! Moist, juicy and tasty! I have made this many times with nothing but great reviews. I like to marinate for 24 hours and I place in ziploc bag so it is easier to turn. I cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Oh, I also use half sesame oil and half chil oil. Delicious!
