Cantonese Pork Tenderloin with Orange Sauce
I was given this recipe from my sister-in-law, Kathy, I don’t even know how many years ago. It’s always a favorite, and especially nice when company is coming. It isn’t hard at all, but tastes like it is. It’s quite adaptable to go with many side dishes. Various rices go nicely, sweet potatoes or variations of sweet potatoes(we just had roasted wedges with a tossed salad), just about all greens, peas etc. Snow peas, carrots, you name it. It’s very versatile.
