Last night's pork and a microwave oven make this mild main dish a snap to prepare. "We love Chinese food, and this is a favorite in our home," explains Gloria Bisek of Deerwood, Minnesota.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained

1 package (6 ounces) frozen snow peas, thawed
1/2 cup sliced white onion
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 cups sliced cooked pork tenderloin (1/2 inch thick and about 1 pound)
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, bouillon, water and ginger if desired; stir until smooth. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring once.
Add the water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, peas and onions. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in pork; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve over rice.

I loved this recipe! This was a great way to use up leftover pork. It is super fast and easy, and surprisingly tastes just as good as a traditional stir fry with hardly any clean-up.
