Honey Pork Oriental

Manda's Note:

This is my mom's recipe. Not sure exactly where she got it from, but it has been a family favorite for years. The original recipe is served over cooked rice, but my dad doesn't like rice, so he eats it over cooked egg noodles. It's great both ways. This is a great recipe that uses ingredients that you usually have sitting around in the cupboard.

This was in my crockpot all day and we couldn't wait to get to it. I used a pork tenderloin and added cornstartch at the end for a thicker gravy. It was good! BTW, we like egg noodles also. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent recipe; the whole family is already asking when we'll have it again. The honey and soy sauce combination makes a great sauce/glaze to the pork, which turns out extremely tender. Like your Dad, we used egg noodles rather than rice. Thanks for posting.
