I love chinese food...but hate to go to the local restaurants sometimes. Now I stay in and enjoy this simple dish. I found this recipe on another food site. When purchasing the pork, I have bought boneless pork chops and cut into small pieces. You can also add other vegetables to this...very versatile.
