We used to do this in Speedo 690, and now I have updated it with crystallized ginger and jasmine oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 1-pound fresh pork tenderloins, trimmed
  • 1 quart wet brine

Method

Brine the pork for 45 minutes, then take it out of the brine and wipe dry. Put the ginger, garlic, and chopped basil stems in a small bowl, mix together, and then rub the marinade into the tenderloins. Cover them and let marinate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, put the sugar in a 10-inch nonstick sauté
