Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb whole pork tenderloin
    1/2 cup soy sauce (I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce)
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    1/4 cup honey
    2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
    4 tablespoons sesame seeds
Preparation
    Combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil.
    Place tenderloin in a resealable plastic food storage bag and pour the soy sauce mixture into it.
    Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. **I do not recommend marinating this any longer than 2 hours - as the pork will become too salty tasting**.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
    Mix honey and brown sugar on a plate. (You could use a whisk if you're having trouble mixing these ingredients.).
    Place sesame seeds on another plate.
    Roll pork in honey mixture and then roll in the sesame seeds.
    Roast in a shallow pan for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees.
    Suggested to serve over rice.
