Now, what's a nice Jewish girl like me reviewing a pork recipe, and giving it 5 stars yet???? Just because I don't eat pork doesn't mean I'm happy about missing out on some amazing, flavorful recipes here on Zaar. Being the Queen of Recipe Adaptation (it's only one of the crowns I wear), I used chicken breast shnitzels instead. We always have a bottle of Thai sweet chilli sauce in the house, although ours was not tomato flavored and I didn't add the ketchup. I used fresh ginger instead of ground and lots of black pepper. I even tossed in a garlic clove. We had these over couscous and it was delicious! Thanks Zurie!

I made this tonight for supper and le me tell ya......It Was A Huge Hit!!! Hubs is currently going for helping #3 :) The flavor is absolutely wonderful! I made it exactly as stated. The only thing I will do differently next time (And yes, there will be many next times) will be to make a double batch of sauce. I served this over rice, spooning some of the sauce over the top. WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you for sharing! Definitely going to be one of my favorite go to's when we want a little oriental flavor for a meal and don't want to spend a lot of time to achieve it. This goes together very quickly and is easy peasy!!!

I'm a widow, retired, and I love cooking. I live on the coast in South Africa and I love seafood. You're welcome to my recipes (all kinds, definitely not just seafood!) Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste!
