Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe

This gourmet pork tenderloin recipe calls for submerging the tenderloin in a brine 2 hours and applying a glaze during cooking. You can brine the tenderloin longer, let’s say 6-8 hours in total time but what happens is the tenderloin will become a little mushy sitting this long in the brine and this can also happen in some marinades as well.
