Succulent Marinated Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Succulent and Tender Marinated Asian Pork Tenderloin – toss the pork and marinade into a ziplock bag over night, bake for an hour and taste the perfection.

More excuses as to why I haven’t posted a recipe recently. This time it’s because I’ve been busy touring Japan! D and I landed in Osaka (after our 14 hour direct flight from JFK) on September 16th at 6pm. The flight flew by in a flash. Dinner, lunch, a movie, 10 hours of Nyquil induced sleep and we were in a foreign land. We wrote about our first night in Japan on the travel blog so if interested check out the details there.

In the full two days we’ve had here we’ve explored Osaka and Nara and are currently in Kyoto waiting for our 71 year old sky diving enthusiast couchsurfer to take us on a tour of the city. Did I say 71 year old sky diving enthusiast? Yep, as it turns out both me and him skydived over Lake Taupo in New Zealand in 2009. Small world right?

As for Japan itself. It is a fascinating place. The architecture just blows me away and the food just tickles my taste buds. It is great to finally try some authentic Japanese food outside of sushi. After years of eating at Japanese restaurants abroad I realize I never tried any of the tasty Japanese delicacies outside of the standard maki rolls. In the last few days we’ve tried; dumplings, gyoza, katsudon, ramen noodle soups, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, pacific saury, silken tofu, home made miso soup, capelin, and the list goes on.

And so with the theme of Asian food, today I share with you a recipe for marinated Asian pork tenderloin. I randomly came up with the ingredient combination for the marinade and wasn’t sure how the pork would turn out but I was pleasantly surprised. The Asian pork tenderloin was super tender and delicious, just yum!
