Instructions
Marinating
Remove the sinews from the whole pork tenderloin. Poke small holes all over the surface with a bamboo skewer so that the seasonings can penetrate and the meat roasts evenly. Rub thoroughly with the seasonings listed above along with the smashed scallion and ginger. Marinate for 2 hours.
Roasting
Place the marinated meat into a roasting pan and put it into the oven. Adjust the heat during roasting to avoid burning. If the color develops unevenly, cover the darker spots with cabbage leaves and continue roasting until the color is uniform. Roast until the meat is fully cooked and both sides show an even color. Remove from the oven and brush the surface with sesame oil to keep the meat from drying out.
Plating
When serving, slice the meat crosswise into pieces, arrange on a plate, and drizzle with sesame oil.
