Instructions



1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook until edges begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to a plate; set aside.
   
2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion, garlic, ginger and carrots and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until onions begin to soften. Add broth, soy sauce and vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer broth 10 minutes.
   
3. Stir in bok choy, tofu, pasta and reserved mushrooms and pork, if desired. Gently boil until pasta is just cooked through, 10 minutes. Stir in green onions and cilantro.
   
4. For the tenderloin: Combine oil, salt, jalapeno flakes, and orange and lemon peels in small bowl. Spread mixture over pork; wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour. (Can be made ahead. Refrigerate overnight.)
   
5. Heat and oil grill or grill pan. Grill pork 20 minutes, turning several times, until meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 155 degrees. Transfer pork to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes.
   
   
6. Tip: Season the meat the night before for a quick start for dinner.
   
7. Makes 4 servings.
