Chinese BBQ Pork with Asian Noodles

 With beef prices sky rocketing lately I am always looking for less expensive cuts of meat and pork tenderloin is a great alternative.The pork in this recipe cooks up to be very tender and succulent. Although I cooked it on the BBQ you could also cook it up in the oven. I serve the pork with noodles and the combination is very tasty, but rice works too. This dish is well worth the effort. Double the recipe for leftovers.
