Use small pork tenderloins for this recipe, and roast them quickly at a high temperature to keep them tender and juicy. Rolling the cooked pork in the spice mixture after taking it out of the oven keeps the coating crunchy.

Makes 4 servings

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

• 2 tablespoons Asian hot chile paste

• 2 (12-ounce each) pork tenderloins

• 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns

• 1 tablespoon (4 grams) medium-size loose-leaf green tea

• 1 tablespoon brown sesame seeds

• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

• 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder

• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chile paste in an 11x9-inch baking dish. Add the pork and turn to coat all sides.

3. Roast the pork for about 20 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 150 degrees. Remove the pork from the oven and transfer to a platter to rest for 5 minutes.

4. While the pork is roasting, lightly crush the peppercorns and green tea using a mortar and pestle. Add the sesame seeds, salt, five-spice powder, and brown sugar and stir to blend well. Spread the spice mixture on a large plate.

5. Using tongs, roll the pork in the spice mixture to cover completely. Return to the platter, slice, and serve immediately.
