Asian Pork Tenderloin

  Re: (...)
I did a search to see if anyone had reviewed this C@H recipe, but after seeing 833 hits, I guess I'll just go ahead and review my own self!! This is a great combination of flavors! and it works great on the grill also.

I brined one (ONE!!!) 8.5 oz. boneless pork loin chop, made about a 1/4 of the rub and let the chop rest 'rubbed' for 30 min. Then grilled 5 min. on each side and brushed the sauce (made 1/2 of this, should have made a 1/4 also) on for the last 5 min. on each side. this worked out to 7 points.

served with grilled red potatoes and grilled asparagus - great dinner!! great flavor combination.

Thanks for the review Jean, and also the tip on cutting down on the amounts. I always forget to do that, and it's so tempting to keep "picking" at a dish that was especially good.

Haven't tried this one because we used Chinese Five Spice as a rub on a seared scallops recipe (not a C@H recipe) and didn't care for the flavor combination. Perhaps it didn't belong on the scallops and would be good on pork. Pork handles sweet flavors better, although we usually avoid sweet friuts and meat combinations ... just a matter of taste preference.

"-I like that nutrition count!!! " oh good! sure beats having to get on line to check every recipe, eh?

CRS strikes again....I was informed (in no uncertain terms... ) that this was the very same recipe "we" fixed at madmax's house a few months ago - geez. And you can guess who got a delightful hoot out telling me!

anyway, it really is great as a grilled dinner...so there, madmax.
