How to Make Asian Pork Tenderloin With Spicy Asian Cole Slaw
- **For the Pork Tenderloin:**
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over two 1-1 ½ pound pork tenderloins (or one 2-2.13 pound loin roast).
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork on all sides for 5-8 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-30 minutes (adjust cooking time for larger roasts; check internal temperature), or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F (60°C).
- Remove pork from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- **For the Spicy Asian Coleslaw:**
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste), and ½ teaspoon grated ginger.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat.
- Add 8 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 medium bell pepper (any color, thinly sliced), 1 medium carrot (julienned or shredded), and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
- Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add ½ teaspoon salt.
- Continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until cabbage begins to wilt.
- Stir in the reserved sauce and cook for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
- To serve: Place the coleslaw on a platter. Slice the rested pork and arrange over the top of the coleslaw. Drizzle with pan juices from the pork for extra flavor.
