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.

Boring as written and factually wrong in preparation.
Do not fry in toasted sesame oil. It breaks down in high heat and is NOT a frying oil. Use it at the end for finishing and as a flavor enhancer only.
Cut pork in smaller spices and use Chinese 5 spice, salt and pepper & neutral oil. Fry in neutral oil later. Toss the sesame oil in the last minute with the meat so you don't have to separately toast it. Take out of pan with all the meat for later addition.
Add grated or minced ginger to garlic in cooking oil to season. If you don't want to add chili flakes to the sauce, add a few paper thin slices of hot chili to the vegetables as they cook.
To the finishing sauce, add fresh lime juice, red pepper flakes (if you haven't used fresh chili, & some 5 spice. It is "blah" without any seasoning except as written.
With respect to the 12 ounces of green beans, use any combination of vegetables you have on hand - green beans, carrots, broccoli, chard, kale, cherry tomatoes, etc.

I've made other recipes using hoisin as the base for a sauce, and they can be overpoweringly hoisin-y, but this pleasantly was not. It had a good balance between the flavor of the jarred hoisin and the other additions to the recipe. The tenderloin was juicy and flavorful, and I'd definitely make this again, even though I'm not a huge fan of green beans.
