Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce
• 2 cups coleslaw mix
• 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 4 brioche sandwich buns
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha sauce to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

While the pork rests, prepare the slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions. In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise and lime juice. Add the lime mayonnaise dressing to the coleslaw mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

Once the pork has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, toast the brioche buns lightly if desired. Layer the bottom half of each bun with slices of pork, a generous serving of dressed coleslaw, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your Oriental Pork Sandwiches with a side of your choice!
