Expert Tips That I Recommend

• You need to remove the silver skin and extra fat from the pork tenderloin. But keep a little natural fat on, as it helps keep the meat moist.
• Make sure to refrigerate the pork for 4 hours after marinating to develop its full flavor.
• If possible, turn the tenderloin once or twice during marination to ensure the marinade coats the pieces well.
• Always remove the excess marinade before searing so that it forms a better crust.
• Allow the cooked tenderloins to rest before slicing so that flavors redistribute well.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

• Keto Version: Replace sugar with monk fruit sweetener, soy sauce with coconut aminos. Add xanthan gum instead of cornstarch.
• Gluten-Free Version: Instead of soy sauce, use gluten-free tamari and add gluten-free cornstarch instead of regular cornstarch.
