I love cooking pork tenderloins. They are fast and tasty. I also make them a lot because it is a dinner that Albert and I both enjoy. I'm always looking for new ways to spice it up since just roasting it can get a little boring. This is one of those recipes that I just came up with based on ingredients that I had handy. It has all of the Asian flavors I love: sweet, spicy and tart. This marinade would also be great on chicken or shrimp.
