This easy weeknight pork tenderloin recipe is bursting with flavor, thanks to traditional Korean ingredients like kimchi, soy sauce, garlic chili paste, 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 flavor 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 flavor and a little hit of heat thanks to the fiery, tangy chili garlic sauce. Be sure to plan ahead as the pork needs to marinate for 2 to 5 hours.
