Ingredients
½ cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Sriracha
1 large garlic clove, grated on a Microplane
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1 ¼ pounds), cut crosswise into thirds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 small carrots, peeled
2 large radishes (such as watermelon), or 4 small
4 scallions
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
4 cups cooked brown or black rice
2 ounces snow peas, trimmed
Pickled ginger (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine hoisin, ketchup, honey, ginger, Sriracha, garlic and five-spice powder.
- Step 2
Season pork with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, then add to the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, cover, and set aside. You can let the pork marinate, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or you can cook it right away.
- Step 3
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip back into the bowl. (Reserve marinade.) Sear pork for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and about 2 minutes on the other, until nicely browned and caramelized.
- Step 4
Remove from heat and pour remaining marinade over the pork, turning to coat evenly. Transfer pan to the oven and cook, turning in the sauce occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees. (The smallest piece of pork, from the thin end of the tenderloin will be done first, so begin checking temperature at 10 minutes and remove pieces from the oven as they are done.)
- Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Use a peeler to shave the carrots lengthwise into strips. Slice the radishes paper-thin using a mandoline. Thinly slice the scallions on an angle.
- Step 6
Transfer pork to a plate and set aside to rest. Add rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly until you have a smooth sauce, adding more water if needed. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer to a small bowl, stirring in any juices that accumulated from the plate with the pork.
- Step 7
Distribute rice among 4 bowls. Thinly slice the pork and divide among the bowls. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and rice and garnish each bowl with the carrots, radishes, scallions, snow peas and pickled ginger, if using. Serve immediately.

Star Anise, fennel seed, cloves, Chinese cinnamon and Szechuan pepper / white pepper / ginger - depending on whom you consult. There are quite a few recipes for making your own online. We've had good luck with recipes from TheWoksOfLife.com
Does anyone know what are the five spices in Chinese five-spice powder?
Start the rice, then marinate the pork, then thinly slice the veggies while the rice is cooking and pork marinating. Once you've got all your veggies sliced, start cooking the pork - it will cook quickly and it is really useful to keep an eye on temps while it is in the oven so you can trim it off as it cooks. (Also, if you drip extra marinade from the pork into your pan while searing it will burn, so consider spooning it out before it carbonizes).
@JCP You're a genius! The hoisin glaze really stuck to the pan, both the frying pan and the one that went into the oven. Your dissolving in warm water trick really saved the day!
Made this exactly as directed (with the exception of the sriracha because spicy food is not my friend) and it was as if I had gone to a Chinatown take-out and ordered sliced roast pork. This is going into rotation.
This is surprisingly delicious! I say surprisingly, becuase I used the BA homemade hoisin sauce and it tasted a little funny to me (I'm not super familiar with hoisin and I thought I maybe burned it, but used it anyway). Glad I went ahead and made this with it. I ended up only using half the 5-spice (and no sriracha in the hoisin) because i was giving it to my two young kids, but the flavor didn't scare them away! Served it with rice and some roasted vegetables. Yum!
