These are a light and flavorful appetizer or meal for the summer. I used leftover pork tenderloin from last night, but you can make these with more traditional steamed shrimp or with just veggies, or with whatever makes you happy. The wrappers can be found in the Asian ...

This was a pretty tasty take on pork that was inspired by a similar recipe from Cooking Light. It was a bit heavy on the hoisin and light on the bourbon, so I think next time I'll cut down the hoisin by half, double the bourbon, and use this ...
