Health and fertility benefits of Hoisin Pork Tenderloin with Asian Carrot Salad

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1/3 cup hoisin sauce*
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 1-pound pork tenderloins, trimmed
2 cups pre-shredded carrots
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup purchased broccoli slaw
1/4 cup purchased Chinese chicken salad dressing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 °F. Place rack in 13x9x2- inch baking pan. Add enough water to reach depth of 1/4 inch (it should not touch rack). Stir hoisin and soy sauce in small bowl; brush thickly all over pork. Arrange pork on rack in pan. Pour any remaining sauce over.
Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 145 °F, about 30 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board. Cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise slightly).
Meanwhile, toss carrots and all remaining ingredients in large bowl.
