Photo: Easy Pork with Hoisin Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- Salt and pepper
- 4 medium garlic cloves, smashed
- 12 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
- 1/4 cup dry sherry or shaoxing wine
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish, optional
- Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish, optional
- Steamed rice, for serving, if desired
Directions
Trim excess fat and silverskin from tenderloin. Cut into 1-inch pieces, pat with paper towels, rub with some sesame oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place a medium skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. When oil shimmers, add pork and cook until browned and cooked partially, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove pork to a plate, return skillet to stove, and add garlic. When garlic is fragrant, add green beans and stir occasionally until browned, about 3 minutes. Add sherry and hoisin, stir to combine, and cook until beans are tender and sauce is reduced slightly and sherry smell is cooked off, about 4 minutes. Return pork to pot, turn to coat in sauce, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if using, and serve over rice.

I made this recipe last night. I had seen it on Aida's show and just had to try it. It is so simple and great tasting. My husband and I loved it. The pork was really tender. It's super easy too.

My husband LOVES any type of pork dish but is very picky about how it is prepared. (He does not like over cooked pork. After seeing Aida make this, I decided he would like it. It was EXCELLENT! I followed the recipe exactly and the pork came out perfectly prepared and juicy. The sauce added a nice Chinese flavor. I have since made this recipe a few more times and the only change I made was to cook the green beans just a smidge more. Other than that, I haven't changed a thing. It is quick and easy and uses everyday ingredients.
