Pork With Almond Sauce image

Serve over your favorite noodles or rice. This uses a small pork tenderloin, which roasts quickly. The original recipe said to shred the meat, but I found that since it is not cooked slowly, the meat doesn't shred as easily as, say, pork shoulder. so I just cut it inot bite-size pieces. If you can't find almond butter, chunky peanut butter is a good substitute.
