Ingredients
Scale
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
1 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for later use.
Place the pork tenderloins in the prepared baking dish and pour the remaining sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
While the pork is baking, combine the reserved teriyaki sauce with cornstarch and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the pork is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the sliced pork, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice and vegetables.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha to the teriyaki sauce mixture.
You can also substitute the pork tenderloin with chicken breast for a different flavor profile.
