Pork Tenderloin With Eggplant Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toss the pork, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk 3/4 cup water, the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a measuring cup; set aside.
• Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain; keep the noodles in the colander. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant in a single layer and season with salt. Cook until browned and starting to soften, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
• Increase the heat to high and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the pork in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom and only a little pink remains, 2 to 3 minutes (the pork will not be cooked through). Remove to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell pepper, ginger, eggplant and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper starts softening, about 2 minutes. Add the soy-hoisin mixture and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet and cook through, about 30 seconds.

• Mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Season the pork tenderloins liberally with the seasoning mixture.
• Pour 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce into a small bowl for brushing on the seared pork and reserve the remaining 2/3 cup for serving.
• Add the olive oil to a skillet and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, sear the pork until nicely browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with some of the barbecue sauce.
• Transfer to the oven and cook, brushing with the barbecue sauce and turning every 5 minutes, until the meat is sticky, charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil at 500 degrees F and broil until bubbly on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

• Place a wok or a large frying pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, after about 1 minute, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and rotate the pan to spread. Add the pork, and stir-fry until it has broken into small chunks and is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic, chilies and eggplant; stir-fry until the eggplant begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Add the water mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is soft when pressed, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and remove from the heat. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro. Note: Slender Chinese or Japanese eggplants hold their shape better and are less seedy than larger, more common globe eggplants.
