Sweet & Spicy Asian Pork image

Makes a great less than 30 minute week night dinner. An original recipe that I created for the 2 for 1: Leftovers Challenge in Cooking Photos. Make it your own by adding other or more veggies, and by increasing the hot red chili sauce--if you're a red hot lover. LOL

The pork was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the pork for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.
