This was very flavorable, though we didn't find it sweet, the amt. of honey/sugar in the final step probably wasn't enough for the amount of meat that I stir fried. Would use low sodium soy sauce next time, we found it quite salty.

I used this marinade with pork loin chops that I sliced for stir fry. Because I stir fried the meat, I omitted the final glaze step. I put the pork in Ramen Fried "rice" http://www.recipezaar.com/34716. The meat was delicious and I will definitely use this marinade again. Thanks Erin!
