Chinese Five Spice Pork Tenderloin Recipes

CHINESE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Place tenderloins in a shallow glass dish. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, black bean sauce, ginger, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and five-spice powder. Pour marinade over pork, and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove tenderloins from refrigerator while the oven preheats.
• Bake pork in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or to desired doneness. Let stand for 10 minutes, and then slice diagonally into thin slices.

CHINESE FIVE SPICE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, Chinese five spice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk together well. Add in half of the green onions. Put half of the marinade in a small sauce pot and whisk in the corn starch.
• Place the trimmed pork tenderloin in a ziplock baggie and pour in the remaining marinade. Massage the marinade into the pork and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove pork from the refrigerator and let it get to room temperature. Heat a heavy cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan on high until slightly smoking. Add the pork tenderloin to the pan and sear both sides, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until an internal temperature reads at least 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a roiling boil. Lower the heat to low and thicken sauce for 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pork. Sprinkle the pork with the remaining green onions.
• Serve with a side of your favorite rice.

FIVE-SPICE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine spice powder and salt on a plate; generously coat pork tenderloins. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in oil. Add tenderloins; brown well on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to oven, and roast until meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees. Remove from oven; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve.

FIVE SPICE SLOW COOKER PORK WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• Rub the pork all over with the five-spice powder and salt. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the scallions, garlic, ginger, the mushrooms, if using, and the meat, turning it a few times to coat. Cover the cooker, set it on HIGH, and cook for 4 hours. Set the cooker on LOW and cook until the meat is very tender, at least another 2 hours (6 hours total).
• Transfer the pork to a platter, cover lightly, and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and skim off and discard the vegetables and fat that rise to the surface. Slice the meat and serve warm or at room temperature with noodles and the sauce on the side.

FIVE-SPICES PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, with a whisk, mix hoisin sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic and five-spice powder.
• Brush each tenderloin with about 1 tablespoon of the glaze (set aside remaining glaze).
• Put pork tenderloins on a grill in a broiler pan. Cook in a preheated oven at 375 F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 F or pork tenderloins are cooked but lightly pink inside.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix the reserved glaze and water. Cook at medium-low, stirring from time to time, for 10 minutes or until the sauce has lightly reduced.
• Remove the pork tenderloins from the oven and let rest 2 to 3 minutes.
• With a sharp knife, cut pork tenderloins in fine slices and distribute in 4 plates. Salt, pepper and spread with warm sauce. It's ready to serve.

CHINESE-STYLE PORK FILLET WITH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Mix the pork medallions with the soy sauce and five-spice; leave to marinate for 5 mins. Heat a large non-stick pan, then fry the pork for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked through. Pour in 150ml boiling water with the honey and bubble for 2 mins. Mix the cornflour with a little water, stir into the sauce and cook until it thickens and is glossy.
• Meanwhile, make the fried rice. Pour the egg into a non-stick frying pan to make an omelette, cooking for 2 mins on each side. Remove, roll up, and cut into thin strips. Add the rice to the pan with the peas and stir-fry for 3-5 mins until piping hot, then gently stir through the omelette with the spring onions and seasoning and cook for 1 min. Serve with the pork and a dash more soy sauce.

5-SPICE PORK AND FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 5-spice powder in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• Put the tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with the sauce and roast in the oven until the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reaches 140 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice 1/2-inch thick.
• While the pork is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the eggs, stirring with a silicone spatula, until softly scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the same skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oyster sauce and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and peas and stir together. Add the soy sauce and the cooked eggs and cook, stirring often, until the corn and peas are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
• Spoon some fried rice in the center of each plate, top with 2 to 3 slices of pork, some of the nuts and cilantro leaves and serve.

CHINESE FIVE SPICE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in a non-metallic baking dish.
• Sprinkle on the five spice powder, then drizzle over the soy sauce and garlic oil.
• Using clean hands rub the mixture into the meat.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325°C/160°F.
• Uncover the dish and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and tender.
• Serve immediately with a green leafy vegetable or broccoli and plain boiled or steamed rice.

PAN-ROASTED 5-SPICE PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Place the roast on its side and split in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Make shallow slashes in a diamond pattern on both sides of each piece. Transfer halves to a flat dish.
• Whisk rice vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, pepper, and Chinese 5-spice powder together in a bowl. Pour sauce over the meat; turn each piece over several times to thoroughly coat. Let meat marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature. (Or transfer to a zip top bag and refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours.)
• Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Brown meat on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Transfer to a plate to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
