Here’s another quick and easy dish that I would like to share with you guys. It consists of three of my favorite vegetables, fresh shiitake mushrooms, snow peas and spinach. The sliced pork tenderloin was stir-fried first, followed by the vegetables and then was flavored by sauce consisting simply of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and pepper flakes. The sauce was not overpowering; it complemented the earthy taste of the mushrooms. This is one of those dishes that I can’t wait to eat as I was taking picture of it. It was so delicious, I finished the whole bowl. 😀
