This easy weeknight pork tenderloin recipe is bursting with flavour, thanks to traditional ingredients like kimchi, soy sauce, garlic chilli sauce, and hoisin. Kimchi is a classic Korean side dish that’s also used as a condiment. It is made from fermented vegetables, aromatics, and spices, and it brings a punch of tangy, funky flavour and spice to whatever dish where it makes an appearance—it certainly takes this rice to the next level. The marinade gives the pork an umami-rich flavour and a little hit of heat thanks to the fiery, tangy chilli garlic sauce. Be sure to plan ahead as the pork needs to marinate for 2 to 5 hours.
