Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Excellent Chinese-American style pork tenderloin. My pork needed an extra 90 seconds broiling time to reach the desired temperature on my meat thermometer -- increase to 3 1/2 minutes broiling on each side next time. I marinated the pork for 90 minutes.
