This recipe turned out poorly. After cooking, the pork was unattractive and dull, so I added green onions for color. I double-checked the temp (450 F), time (12 min), and internal temperature (145 degrees F). However, the meat was rubbery and tasteless. The garlic was uncooked. A serrated knife had to be used to cut through it. My husband left the table. He returned and added a tablespoon of Baby Ray's BBQ sauce to help it slide down. We concluded the taste was not to our liking and decided that Asian-style sesame pork is ten times better at the local Chinese restaurant. We were hungry an hour later.

Loved these, this is a great dish to make when you are pressed for time. I couldn't believe something so easy to make was so flavorful. I put the pork in the oven with my asparagus so that they could get nice and toasty because I like my meat crispy.
