Tasty sauce and easy to make. However, I found the pork a bit dry...think it was overcooked, and I didn't think there was quite enough sauce (I like to use the sauce with my rice too). If I try it again I would not re-add the meat until the pineapple goes in and may reduce the 10 minutes cooking time in that step. I would also increase the sauce ingredients.

Hi, I'm 27/F, originally from Alaska, but for the past five years i've been in Seattle. I work as an HRA/Dental claims processor at Flex-Plan Services, and am working towards a degree. In what? I'm just going for my AA and working from there. We all have to start somewhere.
I love this place! Every time I need a new recipe, I come here. Rarely have I had a negative experience. Thanks to all for making this a great site.
