Ideas for Extra Pork Tenderloin??

[Kristi]

I have one cooked pork tenderloin as well as several additional slices in my freezer. I'm looking for ideas on how to use this in a recipe or two!! Any thoughts?

Thanks! :D

This is the recipe I make with my left over pork scraps from either tenderloin or loin. Note that I also use a half of cabbage and slice myself because I don't like the taste of "packaged" salad mixes. Also, take time and make your own crepes. This stuff is addictive!!!

Serving Ideas : Serve with Basic Crepes #1.

NOTES : Prepare and measure everything first. The cooking process takes less than 10 minutes. I don't like sasame oil, so I only added a drop. Once cabbage is added, do not let the mixture cook, you want to keep the cabbage crispy.

This is a delicious dish.
