01
Step 1
Start by making a simple brine: combine water, half a cup of brown sugar, salt, a couple of tablespoons of fresh ginger, an onion, a lemon, five garlic cloves, and half a cup of teriyaki sauce in a big container. Toss the pork tenderloin in there, cover it up, and pop it in the fridge for anywhere between 2 and 8 hours to soak up all those flavors.

Step 2
While the pork is brining, mix up the glaze. Whisk together half a cup of teriyaki sauce, some sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, four minced garlic cloves, a couple of tablespoons of ginger, a bit of brown sugar, and fresh orange juice until it’s all smooth and ready to go.

Step 3
When you’re ready, fire up your grill to high heat. Take the pork out of the brine and cook it on the hot grill, turning every 7 to 12 minutes or so, until the inside isn’t pink anymore.

Step 4
Once it’s cooked through, pull the tenderloin off the grill and wrap it loosely in foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to keep it juicy.

Why you’ll love it
This dish brings together a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. The glaze locks in moisture, making the pork incredibly tender and juicy. It’s quick to prepare, yet impressive enough for guests or a weeknight dinner.
How to serve
Serve with steamed jasmine rice or noodles to soak up the delicious glaze. Add a side of sautéed bok choy or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions adds a nice touch.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to maintain tenderness. For longer storage, freeze cooked pork wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
