Asian-inspired pork tenderloin: A quick, healthy dinner solution

Pork tenderloin is commonly used in our cuisine. It's perfect for aromatic sauces, stews, and roasting whole. We usually use traditional spices for pork, such as paprika, garlic, and oregano. Therefore, preparing it with an Asian twist can surprise your guests or family.

Pork tenderloin is delicate, tender, and lean. It contains protein that is easily digestible. It's also rich in vitamin B12, supporting red blood cell production and nervous system function. Another key component is zinc, which is essential for proper circulatory system function, blood pressure stabilization, and immunity boost. What else do we appreciate about it? Pork tenderloin is not fatty. It contains approximately 3.51 grams of fat per 100 grams.

Pork tenderloin is delicate, so it quickly absorbs flavours, making it perfect for marinating. How do you give it an oriental taste? Prepare a marinade based on soy sauce. This ingredient is indispensable in Asian cuisine, adding more umami flavour to meat dishes. It's best to combine it with sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger for deeper flavour and juicy, tender meat. It's ideal to immerse the tenderloin in the marinade for a few hours. Then you need to bake it for about 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 400 g pork tenderloin,
• 105 ml soy sauce,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• 1 tbsp honey,
• 1 tbsp sesame oil,
• 1/2 tsp ginger,
• 1/2 tsp hot paprika,
• pepper and salt to taste.

Preparation method:

1. Mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, hot paprika, pepper, and a pinch of salt.
2. Clean the tenderloin. Put it into a container with the marinade. Carefully rub the mixture into the meat and then cover it.
3. Place the container with the tenderloin in the refrigerator for a few hours.
4. Take it out of the refrigerator before baking so the meat reaches room temperature.
5. Bake the tenderloin at 200 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes.
