Roomie night dinners are back in full force! Missed Roomie Dinner 1 and Roomie Dinner 2?
This time, Chef Devan prepared the most flavorful and delicious pork dish inspired by Cooking Light’s 5 Ingredient, 15 Minute Recipes. If you are like me and love to make simple dishes in little time that taste amazing, then you seriously need to get this book (and no I am not getting paid to say that)! Every recipe I have ever made from here has been a success and it is hands-down, my “go-to” recipe book.
The recipe was followed to a T except for the addition of nutmeg (for flavaah) and orange juice (tenderizes the meat) to create the perfect marinade.
Korean-Style Pork Tenderloin from Cooking Light

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and about 1 tablespoon sauce)
Ingredients
* 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
* 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
* 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
* 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tsp nutmeg
* 1/4 c. orange juice
* 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
* Cooking spray
Preparation
Combine first 7 ingredients (plus nutmeg + orange juice) in a large zip-top plastic bag; add pork. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 6-8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 425°.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Add pork to pan; cook 6 minutes, browning on all sides.
Place pan in oven; bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160° (medium) or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices; serve with sauce.

Served alongside the pork was a deceptively healthy Unfried Veggie Brown Rice. It complimented the dish wonderfully, and tasted just like the real thing!." - SimplySavor
