I marinated 2 pork tenderloins (maybe 2 1/2 lb) in the marinade. In the marinade I used sesame oil. I used dried ginger. It marinated more than 24 hours. I omitted the part to roll it in honey and brown sugar cause my BF was afraid it would be too sweet (also I was lazy LOL) I cooked them with a thermometer inside until it reaches 160 degrees. Then I put the tenderloins on a plate with foil on it to let them rest. The pork was very tender, juicy, perfect cooking. And so tasty. Thanks Kit :) Made for Zaar Star Game.

Outstanding! I made as directly, however, I accidentally used 3 TBS of Sesame Oil and 1 TBS of veg oil to marinade (the accident turned out exceptionally well :) ). When I read the comments made by other reviewers that the sesame seeds would fall off the roast when cut, I decided not to rub additional oil on the roast (as in step 8). Instead, I rubbed the honey and brown sugar mixture well into the roast before rolling in the sesame seeds. My seeds stayed neatly on the roast when carving and the taste was phenomenal! I probably should have selected a more Asian theme to the side dishes I served. However, I made Recipe #60935 and corn which always go well with pork. This makes a wonderfully succulent and flavorful roast! Thank you, Kittencal!
