Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe

I first made this appetizer on Christmas Eve a few years ago, and it has since become a tradition. Serve the pork slices alone or on small dinner rolls with hot mustard sauce, ketchup or horseradish. —Diana Beyer, Graham, Washington

I made this as part of a backstage buffet for performers at a concert. I made 4 tenderloins and not a scrap was left. I just sliced in thinly. Bread and crackers were available, but I noticed most people just took a slice on its own. It got rave reviews.
