Pork Loin In A Garlic Chili Sauce

Whenever i eat at a chinese restaurant, i order this appetizer. Yum! When i make this at home, it is even better than at the restaurant and not only is it less expensive, you can have more of it--like a main dish. The original came from the ultimate chinese cookbook. The recipe indicates that this should be served cold, but i warm it in the microwave.

Steps

In a large pot , place pork and add enough cold water to cover.

Bring to a rolling boil.

Skim froth from the surface of water , then cover pot and simmer for 25 to 30 minute.

Remove pot from heat and leave pork in the undrained pot to cool for at 1 to 2 hours.

Remove meat from pot cover lightly and cool completely in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

Cut the meat in small thin slices across the grain.

Arrange on serving plate in an overlapping pattern.

In a small bowl , mix all the other ingredients , then pour the sauce over the meat.

If you wish , you might garnish with cilantro and green onions.

Enjoy !.

Although the recipe seems to indicate that this dish should be served cold , i always warm the meat in the microwave.

Also , the sauce could be served on the side to dip.
