Recipe from Green Tea:
Crunchy Sesame
Seed-Crusted Pork
|
|
2
tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons Asian hot chile paste
Two 12-ounce pork tenderloins
1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns
1 tablespoon (4 grams)
medium-size loose-leaf green tea
1 tablespoon brown sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 1/2
teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Serves 4 |
Use small pork tenderloins
for this recipe, and roast them quickly at a high
temperature to keep them tender and juicy. Rolling the
cooked pork in the spice mixture after taking
it out of the oven keeps the coating crunchy.
- Preheat the oven to
450˚F.
- Mix the soy sauce,
vinegar, sesame oil, and chile paste in an 11 x
9-inch baking dish. Add the pork and turn to coat
all sides.
- Roast the pork for
about 20 minutes, turning once, until an
instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest
part of the roast registers 150˚F. Remove the pork
from the oven and transfer to a platter to rest for
5 minutes.
- While the pork is
roasting, lightly crush the peppercorns and green
tea using a mortar and pestle. Add the sesame seeds,
salt, five-spice powder, and brown sugar and stir to
blend well. Spread the mixture on a large plate.
- Using tongs, roll
the pork in the spice mixture to cover completely.
Return to the platter, slice, and serve immediately.
