• FOR THE PORK LOIN
• 2 (1 -1 1/2 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed of all silverskin and excess fat
• 2 tablespoons Chinese five spice powder
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1/3 cup chinese plum sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon pineapple juice
• 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
• fresh chives (for garnish)
• FOR SLAW
• 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon chinese plum sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 6 cups green cabbage, cubed
• 1 cup red bell pepper, julienned
• 2/3 cup carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1. FOR THE TENDERLOIN:
2. Preheat oven to 400*F.
3. Combine Five-Spice, salt and pepper, and rub over tenderloins.
4. Heat oil in oven-proof saute pan over medium-high; sear pork on all sides, 5-8 minutes.
5. Transfer pan to oven and roast 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 140*F.
6. Remove pork from pan and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
7. FOR THE SLAW:
8. Whisk first 6 ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
9. In oil, saute cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and ginger in skillet on high heat.
10. After 1 minute, add salt. (The salt flavors the vegetables, but also draws moisture from the cabbage, helping it to wilt faster. This was quite fast and dramatic.).
11. Continue to saute for 2 minutes or until cabbage begins to wilt.
12. Stir in reserved sauce and cook 1 minute until slightly thickened.
13. Place slaw on platter, slice pork and lay over top of slaw, and serve with a dollpop of pan sauce.
