  About 10 minutes before the pork should be done cooking, whisk together the glaze. Combine the mandarin orange sauce with the diced chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. Brush the glaze onto the pork tenderloins for the last 2 to 5 minutes of cooking.

  For the slaw, begin by degorging the shredded cabbage. Put the cabbage in a colander with a few generous pinches of kosher salt. Let it sit in the sink or over a bowl (it will release a good amount of water) for about 15 minutes.
