Sweet & Spicy Asian Pork image

Makes a great less than 30 minute week night dinner. An original recipe that I created for the 2 for 1: Leftovers Challenge in Cooking Photos. Make it your own by adding other or more veggies, and by increasing the hot red chili sauce--if you're a red hot lover. LOL

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I'll try making it again with less chili pepper next time.
