• For the ketjap sambal: Heat the canola oil in a small saucepot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and sauté until fragrant but not yet browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, tamari, five-spice powder and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with salt and add it to the pan; cook until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total.

Finally, add in the cooked spaghetti and half of the ketjap sambal.
