Ingredients
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
One 1-to-1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 large eggs, beaten
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups cooked white rice, cooled
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 cup dry roasted cashew nuts or roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 5-spice powder in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Put the tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with the sauce and roast in the oven until the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reaches 140 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice 1/2-inch thick.
- While the pork is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the eggs, stirring with a silicone spatula, until softly scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the same skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oyster sauce and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and peas and stir together. Add the soy sauce and the cooked eggs and cook, stirring often, until the corn and peas are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
- Spoon some fried rice in the center of each plate, top with 2 to 3 slices of pork, some of the nuts and cilantro leaves and serve.
