This was an excellent way to use up my leftover pork. The spinach really makes it yummy. Thanks for posting. Roxygirl -
I think it'd be unfair of me to rate this since I made it without sesame oil (which I understand is without substitution for taste) and my leftover pork roast (Recipe #121442) was a little dry. It was perfectly edible, though I missed having other veggies. I'd make it again--when I have sesame oil on hand--because I think it's promising.

Well, we certainly loved this. It went especially well with fiery hot egg rolls and a cold salad. It was not overly spicy, just delicious. I wouldn't change anything about this recipe; however, I used just 2 T. toasted sesame seeds, and served them on the side so that the dish wasn't drowning in them. Very tasty with leftover pork tenderloin. I will be saving this recipe to do again, for sure.
