Braised pork trotters is one of the Chinese New Year dishes enjoyed during this festive season as pigs are auspicious animals in Chinese culture and symbolize strength and good fortune.
This dish is prepared using store-bought boneless pork trotters, tossed with noodles symbolizing longevity equivalent to being in good health and paired with "lucky" vegetables combo.
You can create your own homemade BBQ sauce instead of depending on store-bought BBQ sauce as marinade to make this Pork Tenderloin Protein Bowl. Another alternative to easy homemade "marinade" is a dry-rub seasoning to flavor up oven-roasted pork tenderloin.
This dry-rub is made from bottled spices available in the pantry e.g. garlic powder, ginger powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano. Feel free to use your favorite spices and create your own dry-rub and flavors.
Besides chicken breast meat, pork tenderloin is also lean cut of meat that is an excellent source of protein, Vitamin B and zinc. It might not be as forgiving as other fattier cuts of pork e.g. pork belly; and may have more "chew" to it, rather than "melt-in-your-mouth" in some oven-roast recipes.
Oven-Roasted BBQ Sauce Marinated Pork Tenderloins sliced into medallions paired with freshly steamed vegetables make perfect protein bowls.
