To prepare two servings of hoisin pork, replace the tenderloin with two (four-ounce) boneless pork chops, and reduce the marinade ingredients by half. Sprinkle each pork chop with one teaspoon sesame seeds for the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and about 4 teaspoons sauce)
