Number Of Ingredients 17

For the Pork:
Cooking spray
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons hot mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
For the duck sauce:
1 1/2 cups plum preserves
1/2 cup mango chutney
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
8 ounces somen noodles, cooked according to package directions
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
2 teaspoons peanut oil

Steps:

Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray. For the pork: Season pork all over with salt and black pepper and place in prepared pan. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, molasses, hot mustard, and garlic powder. Brush soy sauce mixture all over pork. Roast for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 160 degrees F. Remove from oven and let pork rest for 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. For the sauce: While the pork is roasting, in a small saucepan, combine plum preserves, chutney, vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Toss somen noodles with scallions and peanut oil. Remove pork from the oven. Serve 2/3 of the pork with all of the plum sauce and somen noodles. Reserve remaining pork, about 12 to 16 thin slices, for paninis.
