If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to your preference for a spicier or milder glaze.
Serve with brown rice and steamed green vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.
Leftover sliced pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
The type of wood chips used during grilling can add a unique smoky depth. Consider using applewood or hickory for a subtly sweet and robust flavor profile.
