Ingredients
Scaled from 4 servings

If making homemade sauce, combine teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add half of the teriyaki sauce to the pork tenderloin (refrigerate the remaining sauce to thicken for serving).

Marinate the pork for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Remove tenderloin from the marinade and discard the marinade.

While pork is cooking, combine reserved sauce with 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to simmering sauce a bit at a time to thicken. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.
-
Remove pork from the oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Drizzle pork with thickened sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
