How to Make Spicy Chinese Pork Tenderloin

1. In a heavy-duty freezer ziploc bag, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
2. Add 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins to the bag and seal, ensuring the meat is fully coated in the marinade.
3. Refrigerate for at least 1-3 hours, flipping the bag occasionally.
4. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
5. Line a small roasting pan with foil.
6. Lightly spray a cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray and place it inside the roasting pan.
7. Place the marinated pork tenderloins on the rack.
8. Reserve the marinade.
9. Roast for 9-10 minutes.
10. Flip the tenderloins and roast for another 9-10 minutes.
11. Check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the meat using a meat thermometer. It should reach 160°F (71°C).
12. Remove from oven and let the meat rest for 8 minutes before slicing.
13. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the marinade bag, swish to collect any remaining marinade, and add this to the saucepan.
14. Bring the sauce to a low boil.
15. Simmer for 5-6 minutes.
16. Just before serving, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter.
17. Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/4-inch thick slices.
18. Serve the sliced pork over hot cooked rice.
19. Spoon the sauce generously over the pork and rice.
