Stir Fried Chinese Pork Tenderloin. A good quick & easy, basic recipe to use with available supermarket bottled sauces like Hoisin, Blackbean, Char Siu and Oyster.
As much as I like cooking and spending time in the kitchen, I still love a good quick meal like this Stir Fried Chinese Pork Tenderloin . This one makes good use of pork tenderloin cut in thin coins for fast cooking and some delicious Chinese Char Siu Sauce, which is sometimes referred to as Chinese Barbecue Sauce.
If you are confused about using those bottled sauces in the Chinese Food aisle this basic recipe is a good place to try them and see which you will like. Hoisin sauce is probably the safest bet for a balanced sweet and slightly tangy flavour.
This is also a good basic recipe to use with other bottled sauces in the Supermarket Chinese food aisle. Hoisin Sauce or Black Bean Sauce will work equally well. Another favourite idea, if you like it, is to mix a little oyster sauce with one of those other suggested sauces for even deeper, more complex flavour.
For our family, this is an ideal busy weekday dinner. If you steam the carrots and broccoli while you stir fry the pork medallions you can easily have this one on the table in 20 minutes or so.
