Hoisin pork tenderloin shows that you don't need a lot of fancy ingredients (or know-how) to make an Asian restaurant-style dish. This one comes together in less than 30 minutes, with a quick-roasted tenderloin and a five-minute sauce.

Ingredients

1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
Dash crushed red pepper flakes
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
Hot cooked rice
Sliced green onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 475°. Off the heat, mix first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Place tenderloin on a greased rack set in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan; brush with 1/4 cup hoisin mixture. Roast until a thermometer reads 145°, 15-20 minutes.
Stir water into remaining hoisin mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to blend, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Keep warm.
Remove pork from oven; let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve over hot cooked rice; top with sauce and green onions.
