1
Prep
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and rub all over with salt, sugar, and Chinese five-spice until evenly coated.

Place the rubbed pork on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the seasonings penetrate.

Set the pork on a wire rack over foil and roast in a 220C (425F) oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the surface is deep golden brown and a probe reads 63C at the thickest point.
4
Rest
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest uncovered for 5 minutes.
5
Build
Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced scallion, and white pepper together in a small bowl.
6
