Ramen noodles are anything but college-casual when they're served with saucy pork tenderloin. Our guests go nuts when we sit down to this Asian-style meal. —Connie Keller, Lake Ozark, Missouri

Ingredients

1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
Dash crushed red pepper flakes
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen noodles or 2 cups hot cooked rice
Sliced green onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 475°. Off the heat, mix first five ingredients in a small saucepan. Place tenderloin on a greased rack in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan; brush with 1/4 cup hoisin mixture. Roast until a thermometer reads 145°, 15-20 minutes.
Stir water into remaining hoisin mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to blend, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Keep warm.
Remove pork from oven; let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting seasoning packets; drain. Serve with pork; top with sauce and green onions.

Everyone in my family loved this. I braised the pork first for the time in the oven then I put it in the pressure cooker for the last bit of time. It was crispy on top and moist inside. The leftovers went in a bag with the reserve sauce for stir fry or sandwiches the next day. (I used a larger pork loin). Really easy and delicious!

When it’s says preheat oven to 475 off the heat what does that mean ?

The pork was moist and delicious, and the flavors in the sauce really make this dish pop. And it was easy to put together, which is always a plus with my hectic lifestyle.

This was delicious! Who knew ramen could be this good? I chopped up asparagus and roasted it in the oven then added it to the dish when I was ready to serve. So good! I had some leftover pork, so I added it to a salad the next day. Will definitely make this again!

Made this on a weeknight when I needed something quick. Good flavors. Hoisin is a big favorite in our house. We double the recipe and had a bit larger tenderloin roast so it took longer than the stated 15-20 minutes to cook.

This is a quick and easy meal! I made this exactly as written and loved the sauce and how it gives a nice caramelization to the outside of the tenderloin. A great way to dress up ramen noodles.

Absolutely delicious. Adding butter to the sauce really deepened the flavor. Next time I'll break up the noodles before cooking them; no other changes, though.
