Comments: 11/3/2010 - I made a modified version of this.
11/30/2016 - I used leftover pork tenderloin, one large onion, half a head of
broccoli, and a yellow pepper. I cooked the broccoli in the microwave in an
open bowl for 2 minutes, and added the leftover pork after the broccoli and
bell peppeer were done.
