Instructions:

1. 1. Preparation:
      • Trim excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
   2. Marinade Magic:
      • In a mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, red food coloring (optional), sesame oil, and rice wine until smooth.

1. Coat and Seal:
   • Place the pork in a zip-top bag, ensuring it’s coated thoroughly with the marinade. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the fridge; overnight for optimal flavor or a minimum of a couple of hours if time is short.
2. Preheat and Set:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the marinated pork on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
3. Roast to Perfection:
   • Roast the pork in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Baste with the leftover marinade periodically to keep it moist and flavorful.
4. Rest and Slice:
   • Allow the pork to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices settle, resulting in tender, succulent slices.
