Pan-Roasted Pork Loin 5 Spice - Teasing and Pleasing

Pan-Roasted Pork Loin 5 Spice - Teasing and Pleasing -
Now it was published, I can admit it easy, pan-roasted pork loin was just a tease developed for a video that I wanted to write for years; Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich! If you had one, you fully understand my excitement. If you do not have it, do not miss the next video.

After recognizing my real motivation, I will also say that this very tasty technique is impressive enough in its own right. The deceptively simple marinade produces great flavor, and fractionation / marking the pork, we not only something that absorbs seasoning quickly, but also cooks faster and more evenly.

I tried to get you to buy this bottle of Asian fish sauce for years now, and maybe it will be the recipe that does. It really is a key here, as the Chinese five spice powder. Mine included cinnamon, ginger, anise seeds, fennel seeds and cloves; but this can vary brand. Whatever you find should work, otherwise, simply combine equal parts of what I just mentioned, and you did you own.

I think that this particular marinade works great for 30 minute soak at room temperature. Just keep turning it occasionally, and voila, you are ready to cook. Or just wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the same night. So stay tuned for the next Banh Mi video, and meanwhile, I hope really give you pan roast pork loin a try soon. Have fun!
