My household has been making some model of Ah-So pork for ages. It’s a type of simple, dependable recipes that everybody loves. All it wants is a aspect of white rice and you've got a wonderful meal in beneath an hour!
Ah So Pork
Of course Ah-So sauce is the bottom of the recipe and the star of the present, in all its neon pink, sweet-and-sour glory. If you’re not aware of this sauce, it’s a jarred Chinese BBQ sauce that’s fashionable within the northeastern United States, made with corn syrup, miso, garlic, and so forth. It tastes candy, salty, garlicky, and barely bitter. If you'll be able to’t discover it in your native grocery retailer (within the Asian meals part), right here’s a hyperlink to it on Amazon and Walmart.
To add a bit of extra depth and dimension to our Ah So pork tenderloin, I combine it with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, floor ginger, and garlic (you should use contemporary garlic or garlic powder). *Note: While the sauce tastes greatest with all of these substances, this recipe is extremely forgiving. So when you’re lacking one or two of the substances (the Ah-So sauce is a should), you’ll nonetheless have the ability to end up a meal that tastes nice.

Marinating offers the pork time to essentially take in a few of that scrumptious sauce, however when you don’t have time to marinate, worry not! The pork will nonetheless end up nice when you merely slather on the sauce and bake it instantly. To marinate: Pour the Ah so combination right into a gallon-sized plastic bag, add your pork tenderloins, press out as a lot air as attainable, and seal the bag. Turn the bag just a few occasions to coat the pork in marinade and refrigerate for at the very least half-hour and as much as 24 hours, flipping the bag midway by means of to verify the pork marinates evenly.
When you’re able to cook dinner the Ah So pork, line a baking pan with aluminum foil, take away the tenderloins from the marinade (discard the liquid), place the tenderloins within the heart of the pan, and bake at 350 levels F for 40-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the pork relaxation for 10 minutes earlier than slicing. Serve with any inexperienced vegetable you want and a aspect of rice.
Enjoy!
