HONEY AND GINGER PORK STIR FRY

April 26, 2013 By Manu 4 Comments

Honey and Ginger Pork Stir Fry

Maybe not everyone knows this, but my eldest daughter has started her first year of “big school” in January. It is all very thrilling and exciting for all of us, though this has also brought a huge change in our routines. Let’s put it this way… I am now spending more time on the trains than I would care to. When we come back in the evening we are usually quite tired and as the days are getting shorter down here, I am left with very little time to prepare dinner. During such weekdays I particularly like stir fries as they are very quick to make, they are healthy  they make a complete meal and taste delicious. I usually wash and cut all the veggies after lunch and put them back in the fridge, so that in the evening my dinner comes together pretty quickly. This particular stir fry was really tasty… the thin slices of pork absorb the marinade quite nicely and the sauce is gingery and sweet. I really love Kecap Manis (the Indonesian sweet soy sauce) as it adds a little extra sweetness to the dish. If you like stir fries, you will love this. My girls even liked the veggies in it (thanks Kecap Manis!)…. Serve it with some steamed rice and you will have a complete meal in no time!

    I love this kind of stir fries at least a couple of times every week! Looks lovely and am certain tasted good – I could not do without kecap manis but usually ‘halve’ it with l/s soy sauce, as that brings down the richness and sweetness and somehow balances the total flavour!
