The Method

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, kimchi juice, gochujang, gochugaru (if using), soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sugar. Mix well to create the marinade.
3
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a baking dish. Pour the kimchi marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
4
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade (reserve the marinade). Place the pork in a baking dish. Pour the reserved marinade over the pork.
5
Roast the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
6
Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
7
Slice the pork tenderloin and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve with rice and your favorite Korean side dishes.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier flavor, add more gochujang or gochugaru.

Marinating the pork overnight will result in a more flavorful and tender result.

Serve with a side of ssamjang or gochujang for dipping.

Make sure to check the gochujang label, as some brands may contain wheat. Choose a gluten-free variety if needed.
