Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Asian chili sauce, such as sriracha
  • 1 pork tenderloin s, 450 g, trimmed
  • 2 heads baby bok choy, about 250 g total
  • 4 tsp vegetable oil
  • 225 g soba noodles
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 tsp sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots

Preparation

Step 1

Pork: In small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and chili sauce. Set aside.

Place pork on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 16 to 20 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Brush pork with hoisin mixture and slice crosswise.

Sesame Soba Noodles: While pork is cooking, halve bok choy lengthwise and core; brush all over with 1 tsp of the vegetable oil. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to cutting board and let cool slightly; thinly slice crosswise.

In saucepan of boiling water, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain well.

In large bowl, whisk together vinegar, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil, mustard and remaining vegetable oil. Add noodles, bok choy, three-quarters of the green onions and the carrots; toss to coat. Top with pork and remaining green onions.

Tip from The Test Kitchen: Look for bags of precut matchstick or shredded carrots in the produce section of your grocery store (alongside bagged salads).
