7 Reviews of Hoisin Pork Fillet

Another winner from the Flying Chef's kitchen! I made this for an elegant Chinese style meal the other evening and I was treated to "rave" reviews! I used a piece of local tenderloin and marinaded the meat all day. The cooking time was SPOT ON and the meat was tender and full of Eastern Promise!! I served this sliced over the top of my own concoction of egg fried rice with vegetables (my amah's recipe from when I lived in Hong Kong) and spooned the excess sauce over the top. I finished with a garnish of freshly chopped coriander and we all devoured this dish very quickly. The 500g was perfect for 3 people and the marinade was full of depth and flavour. Thanks once again Natalie for such an innovative and tasty recipe - your recipes never fail to please; we must meet up one day for culinary pleasure and a chat..........over wine!!

We made this for our Sunday dinner and it was awesome. Great flavour. Served with some fried rice for a lovely meal.

Enticed by the photos, the ingredient list and some great pork in the freezer how could I not make this one! As FT has already said another Flying Chef winner. Didn't have the bourbon on hand but the hoisin, the sweet chili sauce combined with the rest of the ingredients made for one great tasting tender pork fillet. A recipenap for the Auz/NZ recipe swap.

We both agreed we'd rather stay home and eat this than go out to any of our local Chinese restaurants-it's really an outstanding dish. I don't have bourbon, but thought Chinese rice wine would be a perfect sub anyway. I cooked this in the oven on a rack over water and it cooked up beautifully moist and tender. In an effort to make an "authentic" dish, I added a little red food colouring to the marinade. When it didn't seem to do much colour wise, I added a little more, still nothing, so I added a little more. I ended up with a very vivid red sauce and recommend stopping after the first pinch. Nevermind though, the colour didn't deter in any which way from the wonderful marinade/sauce. I cooked 300g pork fillet for two of us, but made all the sauce as we love a sauce over our rice.

I did a 2 lb pork tenderloin, doubled the sauce recipe (substituting rice wine for bourbon and honey for maple syrup because thats what I had on hand) and cooked this in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. Meat was flavorful and super tender over fried rice.

I used Mirin instead of the bourbon for a more Asian taste. Great idea!

Very good! The Hoisin sauce is verstile and would be good with any stir fry and Asian-style chicken, shrimp, etc. Definitely a keeper! The only thing I did different was to add 4 green onions when I minced the garlic cloves in the mini-food processor. Thanks.
