- In another small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of salad dressing, peanut butter, soy sauce and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the carrot, green onions and red pepper in the oil about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the pork and cook, stirring occassionally until heated through.

Leftover chicken, turkey breast, salmon or lean beef would all work well. You can adjust the heat of this dish to suit your tastes by using more, or less, red pepper flakes. 3/4 teaspoon was just about right for us.
