Pork Loin in a Garlic Chili Sauce
Whenever I eat at a Chinese restaurant, I order this appetizer. Yum! When I make this at home, it is even better than at the restaurant and not only is it less expensive, you can have more of it--like a main dish. The original came from the Ultimate Chinese cookbook. The recipe indicates that this should be served cold, but I warm it in the microwave.

- Edited 9/1/05:
- Although the recipe seems to indicate that this dish should be served cold, I always warm the meat in the microwave.
- Also, the sauce could be served on the side to dip.
