The pork was fantastic, cooked to 150 deg f. I oiled it and rubbed the 5 Spices heavily. The slaw as good, but I don't think that the expensive ingredients were worth it. The oils and mirin were pricey, but didn't add much to the slaw. I would have been just as happy with plain cole slaw and saved $20 at the grocer. We'll make it again.

The meat is delicious and the slaw outstanding. I love this and have made it several times for company.

Wow this was fantasic! My husband and I finished the whole bowl of slaw at one seating. I added one tbl of Splenda to the dressing. This slaw was so good we will have it often.

The pork couldn't have been easier. I made my own Five Spice rub (I got the recipe online and it is pretty strong so I only used half the amount the recipe recommends but I think it could have taken the full amount. Either way, the meat is tender and juicy.
The cole slaw is also very easy and delicious. I just used a white wine instead of the mirrin but I think the seasame oil is critical and can't be substituted. Also, I ended up finely chopping the apple after a run-in with my grater but it did not adversly affect the taste. Very much a fast, easy, delicious and healthy meal. A keeper.

I only did the pork tenderloin, so can't comment on the cole slaw. But the pork was a waste of time. The Five-spice rub didn't do anything for the flavor of the pork. One person flat out refused to eat it, and everyone else felt it was just.... there. To be fair, the pork turned out juicy, but the flavor was nonexistent. Sorry, won't be doing this one again.
