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!

Quick,simple and tasty! I used a small bag of frozen asian style veggies, extra pepper flakes and a teaspoon of cornstartch mixed with the sauce. Since it was me eating alone this evening, I didn't make rice or noodles to accompany this dish, though if the hubs and kids were around, i would. This one is a keeper, thanks for sharing.

Just got home from a boot camp workout session. Wasn't sure what to do with the left over pork chops my husband made two days before. With most of the ingredients were already in the pantry and within 30 minutes, dinner was served! I even have enough for lunch tomorrow - even better. The sauce had the right amount of sweet and it wasn't too salty. I served it over brown rice and we were both quite satisfied. Thanks!
