Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil.
-
Prepare Barbecued Pork: In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sugar until well combined.
-
Coat Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in the prepared baking pan, then generously coat it with the hoisin sauce mixture, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
-
Roast Pork: Roast the pork in the middle of the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C). The pork should be cooked through and slightly caramelized on the outside.
-
Cool Pork: Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking pan. This will help retain its juices and flavors.
-
Prepare Garlic Sauce: While the pork is cooling, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Slice Pork: Once the pork has cooled, transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife held at a 45° angle, slice the pork across the grain into thin slices. This ensures tender and juicy slices of meat.
-
Assemble Dish: Arrange the sliced pork on a serving platter or individual plates, slightly overlapping the slices. Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce over the pork, allowing it to seep into the meat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for added freshness and flavor.
-
Serve: Serve the Chinese BBQ Pork with Garlic Sauce alongside curried stir-fry noodles for a complete and satisfying meal that’s bursting with authentic Asian flavors.
