Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Trim and thinly slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops. Trim the ends of the green beans if needed. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 tablespoon water. Microwave for 30 seconds until warm. Set aside.
2. Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off the heat until ready to serve.
3. While the rice cooks, pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4-8 minutes. Transfer the pork to one side of a foil-lined baking sheet.
4. On the other side of the baking sheet, toss the green beans with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack until the pork is cooked through and the green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes. During the last 3-5 minutes, remove the sheet from the oven and brush half of the hoisin glaze over the pork. Return to the oven until the glaze is sticky. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly crosswise.
5. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, remaining garlic powder to taste and sriracha. Stir in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the green beans with the ponzu sauce and half of the sesame seeds. Divide the rice, green beans and sliced pork among plates. Drizzle the pork with the remaining hoisin glaze and drizzle everything with the sriracha mayo. Garnish with the scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
