Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

3/4 pound pork tenderloin
6 green onions
1 clove garlic, crushed and finely minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°.

Trim any excess fat from pork tenderloin, then cut into 20 round slices.

Flatten meat slices with the heel of your hand, side of a knife, or mallet. Trim the green onions, then cut each into 3 or 4 pieces.

Place green onion on a meat slice and roll up. In a shallow baking dish, stir together garlic, soy sauce, honey, oil, hoisin sauce and ginger root. Place pork rolls in soy mixture seam side down and turn to coat. If preparing ahead, cover and refrigerate.

Bake, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center. During baking, baste the pork tenderloin rolls frequently with sauce. Serve hot or warm.
