Japanese Pork Tenderloin
"This is a recipe I came up with when trying to make a Teriyaki sauce that wasn’t overly salty. I prefer using fresh ginger in this recipe but you can use ground ginger, about a teaspoon is plenty. I like keeping ginger root in my freezer at all times, it is so much easier to grate when frozen and the flavour is just as good."
