Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken

"This is a combination of 2 recipes from the Australian Women's Weekly Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook which I have had since the 70's and is well used. Time to make doesn't include marinade time - I was cutting up vegetables for stir fry vegetables during this time, which were cooked up first and kept warm in the oven. The rice was cooking while cooking the chicken and pork - the whole meal was on the table within the hour."

  1. Very good. It did take a while but I served with Recipe #312535. I think I will add more veggies with it next time. Sauce was excellent. I wasn't sure how it was going to taste but ended up great.
     
  2. We loved this stir-fry! The sauce had a wonderful tangy flavor! We used mushrooms, red bell pepper, water chestnuts, and sugar snap peas for veggies. I was a little concerned about not having enough sauce with so many veggies and no recommendation for how many veggies to add, but it was not a problem at all. We will definitely enjoy this again, thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Oh, glorious! Like some of the other reviewers, I used only chicken, but the chicken pieces were so moist and tender, and the lemon ginger sauce was out of this world, I happily ate that all by itself with rice, mmmm! :) I adore the taste of lemon and this was such a complex blend of flavours. I served this with recipe#319485 (omitting the turkey), and it was a good marriage! Thanks Pat, made for Cooking With Sauces, Asian forum, April 2009
     
  4. This has got to be one of the best lemon ginger recipes I have tried. I made with both chicken and pork, I served ours over egg fried rice. I also just threw in a few veg that I had stir fried in a separate pan and then just added them when returning the meat to the sauce. I will be making this again for sure only next time I will double the sauce as it so good. We just loved the combination of the tangy lemon and the sweetness of honey and wanted more to go over our rice. A true winner Pat loved, loved and loved.
     
  5. This is just outstanding. I made it using both the chicken and pork and the differing textures were great! The sauce is, very simply, delicious!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
