This is my new favorite stir-fry recipe and it's such a great way to use up leftover meat from the night before! -
Delicious. Made as directed, except used l whole onion, sliced and more garlic ( at our house there is no such thing as too much garlic). I did double the sauce and was glad I did. By the way, 12 Tbls. honey is 6 oz. or 3/4 cup. There is no way I was going to measure all that honey by the Tbls. Ha. We enjoyed this very much. Quick and easy and delicious! -
Excellent way to use leftover pork. The sauce was a little too sweet for me, so next time I would reduce the honey and increase the soy sauce, but that's just a matter of personal taste. Thanks for sharing! -
We had a wonderful Crown Roast for Christmas dinner and I made this with some of the leftover pork. Came out very well and got rave reviews from my wife who does not like Chinese food and my 7 year old son who does not like anything but macaroni and cheese or yogurt! The only alteration I made was leaving out the crushed red pepper since I wanted to maximize the chances of the 7 year-old eating it. I'll add that in next time. -
Delicious the left over pork chops I had had got kind of hard and lifeless, this recipe brought them back to life and made an excellent dish, I added broccoli and substituted honey with teriyaki sauce.

I added snow peas and sliced red bell pepper to the stir fry because that's what I had on hand. Loved it!

I thought this was awesome, the only things I did differently was instead of pork chops I used leftover port tenderloin and did not use the sesame seeds as I did not have any in the cuppard like I thought I did. Really very good!
