Spicy Orange Pork Stir Fry

Submitted by Crazycook in PA

"Pork tenderloin chunks are stir fried in an orange based, thai curry paste along with chinese vegetables. The curry paste gives this dish a kick with a subtle flavor of oranges. More or less curry paste can be added to suit your hotness. This is great with rice or chinese noodles."
