Chinese New Year is January 23rd, the start of a 15-day celebration celebrating the Chinese New Year – This year it's the Year of The Dragon. I thought this Asian inspired fiery pork dish would be a great way to celebrate!
Roasted pork tenderloin with a sweet and spicy glaze topped with a fresh mango salsa. Your taste buds will be tantilized with each bite you take.
How good does this look...
Even if you have no intentions of celebrating the Chinese New Year, this is a tasty way to make a pork tenderloin if you are looking for something different.
Could you make this with chicken? Sure! This would be fabulous over a chicken breast if pork is not your thing.
I served this with my own coconut rice creation that my husband loves (recipe coming soon) and he literally cleaned his plate! You could also serve this over steamed jasmine rice for a simple side dish. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for what you do. You are a huge part of my weight loss journey and success. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. We eat 5 or your recipes weekly and haven't had one that wasn't delicious. I couldn't have lost weight just eating baked chicken and steamed broccoli and you've SO helped.
I've lost 25 pounds and my husband has lost about 30. Thank you for your help!!
DROOL.
ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure, I have fun doing what I do! So glad I can help and that is awesome that you both lost so much weight!!
ReplyDeleteyum yum this is right up my boyfriend's alley! Will definitely be making this next week!
ReplyDeleteI actually have pork loin setting out to make tonight. I think I may try this!!
ReplyDeleteI just started WW yesterday...I will be making LOTS of your recipes to come! :) I made your Garlic Lemon Tilapia last night, it was SO good! Thank you.
You sooo need a cookbook deal!!!
We love Pork loin and I cant wait to fix ours like this. Thank you for always posting such wonderful recipes!
ReplyDeleteIs this dish spicy? If so, how would you recommturning down the heat? It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGina - you have really been cranking out the recipes lately! It's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteQuick Question - what's the point/nutrition breakdown between the pork and salsa? thanks!!
Mmm that does look pretty tasty
ReplyDeleteI just joined WW yesterday and came across this site today. It is amazing and you have wonderful recipes!!! I can not wait to get cooking - Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, YUMM!! I can't wait to try this recipe. I'll be getting everything I need on my next visit to the store and trying it for dinner one night next week!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your recipes!! Thanks for sharing with us! :)
If this recipe was made with boneless chicken breast, how long should it roast in the oven?
ReplyDeleteIt's on the dinner list for next Monday! Yes I am that weird about meal planning lol
ReplyDeleteWow, this needs to get in my belly RIGHT NOW. I can't wait to make this.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious! Please post that coconut rice soon, all of your rice dishes are amazing and I love coconut so I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great! Just a side question, how do you calculate your nutrition info?
ReplyDeleteI love mango and forget about it!! Can I marry you and we be sister wives?? lol. Love your site and all the fabulous recipes!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray! My boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow and I logged on for the pineapple cupcakes recipe and found another one he will LOVE! Thank you so much for providing the recipes that will make me look like the most amazing girlfriend ever! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, love your recipies! Made the chicken enchilada soup today and kids wanted more (planned on left overs but oh well...) just wondering what sriracha is and is there a substitute? I live in rural Ireland and anything different can be a challenge ( my mom sends me salsa verde as I have yet to find tomatillas here!) Your site keeps me interested in cooking. Thanks, Sherri
ReplyDeleteI love your site I'm cooking something from it every second day and have spread the word in my weight watchers class I would love to cook this but we can't get the srirch sauce here in Ireland and I've tried the Internet would you have any recommendations to use as a replacement? Btw since cooking from your site I e lost 14 pounds but feel like I've been feasting lol I hope you create your own cookbook
ReplyDeleteThanks
Claire
Ohhhh my gosh this looks absolutely wonderful!! I am so addicted to your site, I check it every day..sometimes several. I am a ww online gal and also we have a fit challenge at my company. It is a corporate wide challenge. I pass on your recipes to my employees every week. We all Love them. It helps us all. I'm in Human Resources..so everyone relies on me for EVERYTHING! Your site also helps me out tremendously with the "Fit" portion of my job.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Jessica
This looks fabulous, can't wait to try it! I love mango salsa but never thought of trying it with Pork. Thank you! Julie
ReplyDeleteYUM! And I've learned a lesson about your recipes. Last week when I planned my entire menu with your recipes, I lost 4 pounds. This week when I didn't, I didn't lose at all. I think there might be a lesson to be learned from this! :) Needless to say I am planning my menu now! Thanks Gina!!
ReplyDeleteSriracha is a spicy Thai hot sauce. If you can't find it use crushed red pepper flakes. You can make this as mild or as spicy as you wish.
ReplyDeleteChicken breast won't take long to cook, maybe 15-20 minutes?
I promise to post the coconut rice soon!
Rebecca, don't have the info off hand, sorry! You can use sparks or my fitness pal to check the calories with changes.
Starbaby, happy birthday to your boyfriend!
Thanks Jessica : )
Christie- oops, glad you're losing with mine!
Looks great! I'm going to try making it soon.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Lunar New Year this year actually starts not this coming Monday but the following Monday, January 23, 2012.
Oh yes, I knew that!!
ReplyDeleteWe were going to have pork tenderloin this weekend. Thanks so much for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI just made this tonight for dinner and was absolutely amazing!!! I almost went back for seconds, but that would be good for my points and my waistline.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gina, we love your website and I share it with everybody!
Made this for dinner and it was incredibly delicious!! SOOOO yummy! I think with the helo of YOU, Gina, I may finally lose this weight once and for all. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDam Girl! It's like you know me! I would love this dish to, now I must make it! It looks so wonderful and I just love mango salsa!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and recipes. My day doesn't start til I finishi looking. One quick question. Are you on Pinterest? If so I would love to follow you.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Nancy
I was just sitting here wondering what to make for dinner tonite - it's a snowy blustery day here - though well I'll check out Gina's site; lo and behold an amazing pork tenderloin recipe; Thank you Gina for all your great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI made similar to this but I add apricot preserves,lime juice and a drop of sesame oil and they are sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I came across your blog on Pinterest and I have a ton of your recipes pinned. We loved the petite turkey meatloaves with mashed potatoes and I'm hoping to try the baked oatmeal with blueberries this weekend. I'm so glad that I came across your blog for some skinny recipes as my husband and I are working on losing weight. Thanks for the great recipes!!
ReplyDeleteI had made coffee rubbed pork with pineapple salsa a few weeks ago and this one looks even better! I like the glaze. I may steal that idea! Yum. Great recipe!
ReplyDeletelooks outstanding. this is my question. it specifies to place the pork on the rack in a foil-lined pan. in the picture, it appears as if the pork is placed directly on the baking rack. am I understanding this correctly?
ReplyDeleteIf you look real closely at the last picture..it is on a rack on a lined cookie sheet. Optical illusions can be deceptive. :)
DeleteThis looks great!! Pulled out a pork loin roast from the freezer today to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you.. do you ever use round steak? we get half a side of beef every year, and a large chunk of it is round steaks it seems. It would be nice to have some lighter recipes to use it in. I crock pot it in some beef broth and herbs, refrigerate, then have used it in place of a pricier cut of steak in the carne bistec. I also chopped it up and used it in place of burger in a meat sauce.
thanks again for your awesome blog! Back on the wagon and this site does help ohhh so much!! I love that it's REAL food to! not all prepackaged or nutrasweet- which i can't have.
My family fought over the last piece of this last night! So delicious!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love your recipes Gina. I have one cookbook that suggests whole meals, like the sides to go with things. I would love it if you did this. I'm always good with the main dish but have difficulty matching things to go with it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I took chicken out for dinner tonight, I might try this with the chicken.
ReplyDeleteCan you post the recipe for the coconut rice before Sunday?!? I'd love to make this whole meal for my family's Sunday dinner! Looks delicious - I know they'll love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I make coconut rice I use half the water it calls for and half lite coconut milk. I also add a little sweetener to the coconut milk bc its not the sweetened kind.
DeleteJust found out about your blog. WHAT A GEM!!!!!! Thank you for posting such a great varieties of recipes.
ReplyDeleteThe flavor combinations sound wonderful. Would chicken breast be an acceptable substitute? I can't eat pork and figured since the tenderloin of pork is so lean, perhaps chicken breast would work.
ReplyDeleteI made it tonight!!! So yummy! Even wrinkle nosed boyfriend had three servings!!!
ReplyDeleteThe salsa is no points because if you're following ww point plus fruits and veggies are zero & mango's fall into that category. I plan on making this tomorrow night for dinner. I love how I can still be on ww and eat normal food. I also love how I can still cook dinners & not have my boyfriend be deprived lol We had the Avena shakes yesterday & he loved it. I even threw a banana in it & it was delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to add this to my recipe box. It shows up as "Recipe Search" rather than the title of the recipe. And the link doesn't work properly :( Any way to fix that?
ReplyDeleteTasted great! I love any meat dish with fresh mango--hard to go wrong. Pineapple is good also, and I want to try this recipe with pineapple instead.
ReplyDeleteIn the past week I've made three of your recipes: the Asian turkey meatballs, the chicken enchiladas and this one.
ReplyDeleteThey've all been fantastic.
Thank you so much for your site. I'm doing a DIY WW and skinnytaste is making it so much easier.
As others have asked, how do you recommend "de-spicing" this? My husband does not like anything hot. If I simply take out the "hot" ingredients, would the salsa still work? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! Any ideas on how to make it if you don't have a roasting pan with rack?
ReplyDeleteI put it on a foil wrapped cookie-cooling rack that was a dollar at the dollar store ;) hehe
DeleteQuick question about the serving size. I just started WW today and want to make sure I have this right. What is the serving- 1/4 of the whole pork and how much of the salsa? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI used canned mango because its january and the mangos at my store were hard as rocks! The sauce still tastes good...i also added red pepper flakes to the glaze for the meat. It's in the oven now! Can't wait to taste it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made this yet....but it is next on my list. Can I tell you how wonderful ALL of your recipes are! I I live in Mass and we have a huge Patriots playoff game tonight against Denver....anyhow I just made your zucchini sticks, sweet potato chipolte fries and chicken nuggets as game day food for my family. For dessert we are having your coconut macaroons. Everything is so delicious oh and by the way I made your scones after dinner two nights ago and my hubby and kids went nuts for them! All I can say is THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU. I tell all my friends about your blog too. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteDeb from Mass...Go Patriots;)
This looks very delicious! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteYes, that looks amazing! I'm going to be out shopping for mangoes this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI made this last night! It was delicious! I added grated ginger and grated garlic to the sauce and red onion to the mango salsa.
ReplyDeleteTo make this mild, simply leave out the sriracha.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have a rack, place it directly on the foil. No biggie!
This feeds 4, if you divide this in 4 equal portion, that is the serving size.
I think this would be great in chicken breast!
I'll try to post the rice today!
And great idea about sides, I have lots of the so I will try to give you ideas and link to them whenever I post.
ReplyDeleteYuuum!We've been working on a Chinese New Year art project with my toddler, now this comes in spot on!Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGina, I've been a looong time follower. Since your amatuer photo days! I have made 75% of your recipes. I have made many of them 4 or 5 times. I have to say that I truly think this is your best yet. Also my husbands favorite too! I have watched your style evolve into more complex and original recipes. You are really becoming a great chef!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what you do with your "fails". I'd love to see a bloopers post!
Keep up the great work
Dish came out really tasty!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy pork loin didnt come out with the same color.. but the flavor was pretty awesome!
Thanks! so much! I live by your recipes! ;0)
Loved it and so did my family. I thought my youngest would think it was hot but he was dipping into the sauce all through dinner!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is to die for! I made it this evening! I can't wait for you to post the coconut rice to make next time. This recipe would be excellent for entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous recipe Gina - made the pork tonight, we're not much for mangos here so skipped the salsa. But the pork was amazing. Just what we were in the mood for.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
This was fantastic! I doubled the recipe & I'm so glad I did because now we can enjoy the delicious leftovers. Your description of the coconut rice sounded too good to pass up, so I made the WW Thai coconut pineapple rice & served it with steamed asparagus. This meal got rave reviews (as ALL the recipes I make from you do!)! Thanks again!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy. I am going to try it with chicken thighs since we don't eat pork. I love your site and have turned on several friends to it also. Thanks for the great ideas.
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and it was amazing!!! My 14 year old loved it also!! Can't wait for the coconut rice recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina,
ReplyDeleteI don't eat pork but since this is a mango recipe I must tell you I make your mango nut bread ALL THE TIME! It really is incredible. Thank you!
Wade
Where is the best place to find the sweet chile sauce? I want to make this sometime this week! Target didn't stalk one, and I have everything but that. Does WalMart have one? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteAlso Gina, how do you think this would do in a crockpot? For me, it's easiest to put everything in the slow cooker before I leave for work in the mornings and just have to quickly do sides once I'm home in the evenings. I might try it that way and let you know how it goes! :)
Walmart does have the sweet red chili sauce! I didn't find it in the same brand used here, but I did find it and it came out tasting great!
ReplyDeleteI made this for my boyfriend's birthday Saturday night and it was AAAAAMAZING!!!! We're not huge on cilantro but after adjusting the amount we were so pleased with this recipe! I made the Pineapple Bliss Cupcakes for dessert too! Thanks so much for everything!
i just wanted to say thank you for making a difference in the way i eat during the work week! your recipes are healthy, delicious, and spot on with the way i like to cook... and i love that your recipes generally are made with things i have on hand and/or without a million ingredients. <3 this is my favorite food blog!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was soooo good! made it for dinner tonight, and the entire family LOVED it, including my pickiest eater (my 8 yr old). Thank you so much for continuing inspiration . . . I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteGina - this is one of my favorites for sure! Delish! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThis was SO good! Served it with some roasted garlic couscous and peas, and my kids devoured it! My girls aren't big on spice yet (they are 4 and 2) so hubby and I sprinkled crushed red pepper flakes on our servings.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the calorie content be minus the mango salsa? I am the only one who eats mango, and I didn't want to make a special trip to the store just for that. :) Love this site Gina, I refer so many people to it! Thank you!
This dish was fabulous. I used pork chops because that's what I had on hand. The mango salsa was a perfect accompaniment to the pork. I served with plain quinoa and mixed it all together. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was really good, one of my favorites from your site (the dijon pork chops still are my favorite)
ReplyDeleteserved with your cilantro lime rice recipe but made it with quinoa... so good.
oes anyine know how long the ork needs to cook? My meat thermometer is broken and I plan on making this tonight. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMango Salsa makes this recipe so much more enticing! Here’s a recipe from Simply Delicious Meals that would be perfect for your celebration of the Chinese New year, Pork and Pineapple Stir Fry, http://www3.samsclub.com/meals/recipes/pork-pineapple-stir-fry-recipe. Let us know if you try it and Happy Chinese New Year. – Carrie from Sam’s Club
ReplyDeleteI really like the sweet and spicy glaze, I think I am going to have to try this on the grill.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, glad I found it.
Wondering.what the cooking time would be for a turkey tenderloin as well as the points plus values? Love this site and your delish recipes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your great recipes. What are the point values for this if you don't make the salsa? Still 6 points plus? Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had this tonight with the coconut rice. I used the glaze over chicken breast. It was so good!
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight...lOve it. And it was easy. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is what is on the menu tonight! We love pork tenderloin at our house...and so many of my tenderloin recipes are so much better on salmon...so if this is a hit - i'm subbing salmon next time. Now let's see if I can be delicate with the mango!
ReplyDeletesooo good...absolutely LOVE this dish and now my family is completely addicted to mango salsa!! thx Gina
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! Added Chinese five-spice powder to the rub and scallions to the salsa. Also substituted ginger syrup for the honey in the sauce which was an excellent combination - sweet, spicy and tangy. This is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteHi! I am making this for my in laws tonight and my father in law hates coconut, so is there another side that would pair well with the pork? Thank you SO much!
ReplyDeleteJust found Skinny Taste last week so this is the first recipe I've tried. Let me just say, This Was AMAZING!! The flavor combo was delicious and Hubby said I out did myself! No leftovers ;) Thanks, Gina. I'll be following from here on.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try this! So far every recipe I've followed has been a hit!! Is there a strong ginger taste to this?
ReplyDeleteThis was the first recipe I tried from your site and I am hooked! The flavors were on point. My husband usually figures out the healthy recipes but he raved on how great this was. Now im off to find another recipe from your site for dinner tonight. Thanks for such a GREAT collection of recipes--keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteI made this last week and it was absolutely great. My family really enjoyed it. Served with brown rice and steamed broccoli. Also made extra sauce for dipping.
ReplyDeleteMade this last night. Soooo good! Can't wait to try it with chicken next time.
ReplyDeleteI am cooking this tonight looks awesome I have cooked many of your recipes and they are great I have so many people hooked on this sight
ReplyDeleteWow! SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteJust made this for dinner tonight. Not only was it super delicious, but it was really simple to make!
I couldn't find the sweet chili at the store so I bought Hunan chili. OOOOEEEEE SO SPICEY!
Some time ago, I made a mango/peach salsa pretty much the same as this except I used a splash or two of balsamic vinegar instead of lime juice. It was like eating dessert!
ReplyDeleteThis was amazing! Loved it. Perfectly spicy and one of the best pork tenderloin recipes I have ever made. My husband loved it but it was too spicy for my kids (2 & 4). I just cut the glazed part off of their serving. Really doen't need the salsa but it is a great addition. I had plenty of glaze left to use as a dipping sauce.
ReplyDeleteI just made this and it is AWESOME! I have my "go to" recipes and this one made the list!!
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and OH. EM. GEE. I can't stop eating it! So easy and so delicious! I served it with Bulgar Pilaf and Sugar Snap Peas. Thanks once again, Gina!
ReplyDeleteMade this twice now. Once with pork and once with chicken breasts. Both delish!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this with Hoisin Sauce instead of Chili because that is what I had. Also great! :)
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight...and it was so tasty that we forgot about the mango salsa! It's still in the fridge! Oops! This was a great recipe. Easy and really delish!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be our Valentine's dinner tonight and I can't wait!!! I have tried so many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. I don't follow WW, but LOVE your healthy alternatives for my family :) Thank you for taking the time to post so many yummy recipes! I look forward to reading your blog for new ideas :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This WAS as amazing as it looked!!! My husband and I will be arm wrestling for the leftovers tomorrow :)
DeleteI made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I added pineapple to the mango salsa. It was a great side with the pork. Thanks for all the yummy recipes - really helps me with the WW program!
ReplyDelete
