mealtime. With a little creativity your home-cooked meal can easily
become a delicious meal another night. There are a six articles in
this series, today we are going to look at what you can do with pork.
DINNER - NIGHT ONE: Braised Pork
Put a pork tenderloin in the oven to bake slowly in
orange juice, ginger, garlic and brown sugar until it is tender enough
to pull apart with a fork. Serve it with easy-to-prepare steamed rice
and stir-fried brocoli. Store the leftover meat in the refrigerator
for up to 2 to 3 days.
DINNER - NIGHT TWO: Mu Shu Wraps
Using the leftover pork that you have baked, shred
the remaining tenderloin, hoisin sauce and shredded carrots and Napa
cabbage. Roll the mixture in warm flour tortillas topped with hoisin
sauce. Serve with vegetables (jicama, carrots, zucchini, celery, Napa
cabbage, green onions) sauteed lightly with soy sauce, garlic and
ginger in sesame oil.
