Thai Style Chili Sauce is the special ingredient that adds a nice flavor to this pork tenderloin which is a Weight Watcher’s recipe. I like to use it in many of my oriental dishes. It adds a little hot and sweet touch.
Korean Pork
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
- a dash or two of dried ginger (or you can add fresh, minced ginger)
- 1 tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tsp. sesame seed oil
- 2 tsp. Kikkoman Thai Style Chili Sauce
Combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil and chili sauce in a large plastic bag; add the pork tenderloin and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Remove pork from marinade and discard the marinade. Brown tenderloin all over for 10 minutes in a small amount of oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
I also like to cook this on one of my electric grills – this is always a big hit when I am entertaining. Just preheat the grill, and grill over medium heat with the lid closed for 15 minutes; turn, baste and cook another 15 minutes.

I love Korean flavors! My husband and I aren’t the biggest fans of pork but, putting a tenderloin in the oven is so easy. I’m definitely going to give this a try.
Thanks Kelly – as you can see I love Korean cuisine and pork tenderloin. I like lean meat and don’t care for “fat” and “skin”. Hope you like it – use fresh ginger!
