CHINESE PORK TENDERLOIN

Chinese Pork Tenderloin image

Because I live in an area where there aren't many Chinese restaurants, I developed this Asian-inspired starter. A combination of soy and plum sauces, red wine, garlic and ginger create a full-bodied marinade that infuses every bite with wonderful flavor.-Delores Condon, Paynesville, Minnesota
