In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chicken broth, and Chinese five spice.

Add pork tenderloin and toss to coat.

Cover pork with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Place pork tenderloin onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reserve marinade for basting.

Bake for 10 minutes, then baste with marinade.

Continue baking and basting with marinade every 10 minutes until the pork's internal temperature is 160 F.

Once cool enough to touch, slice pork into small strips, and set aside.

Whisk together the remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, chicken broth, oyster sauce, and grated garlic in a small bowl. Set stir-fry sauce aside.

Boil noodles according to package directions.

Meanwhile, add vegetable oil to a large saute pan and place on the stovetop over high heat.

Add cabbage, carrots, and scallions and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the cooked noodles to the vegetables and toss together.

Add pork.

Add stir-fry sauce, toss to coat, and cook on high heat for 5 minutes.

Garnish lo mein with additional chopped scallions, if desired, before serving.
