My husband and I love this recipe. The only thing I did different was made a little more of the marinade to save to pour over the tenderloin and the noodles for the side instead of rice. I think it would also be good over mashed potatoes. I do sear a tenderloin on the stovetop on all four sides before putting it in the oven. Delicious! -
Wow! Amazing flavour. Meat was tender and juicy. Needless to say.....there isn't much left. Just enough for lunch....if it hangs around that long. Served with Basmati rice and hot Jalapeno Jelly. Wonderful meal Topher. This will go on my repeat list. -
Tried using sliced pork tenderloin and marinating for 1 hour. Worked great.

I'm a med school student that loves to cook. You might have guessed though that being a college student doesn't give me a whole lot of money to spend on ingredients and such. So instead, whenever I go home, I try to cook something new for parents.
