Homestyle Honey Garlic Pork

Lightly Coated Honey Garlic Pork

We cooked one of the most popular Chinese cuisine for dinner yesterday. Indeed, the Honey Garlic Pork which is featured in every Chinese Restaurants' menu is one of the most popular Chinese cuisine, stretching from mainland China to every other corner of the world. Even smaller establishments carry this easy to prepare and cook cuisine. Easy to prepare because the sauce that comes with the cuisine can be found in most asian grocery stores.

Honey Garlic Pork

But at home, we often make our own honey garlic sauce from garlic, ginger, honey, and corn starch. We start with the meat. Cut the meat to bite sizes than mix the meat with corn starch to create that crunchy bite. The corn starch coating meat is to be fried first with chopped garlic. The thickness of the corn starch coating depends on how you like your meat. We like ours lightly coated. Most Chinese restaurants would have the meat coated much thicker.

Garlic, Honey, and Pork

Once the bite size meat nuggets have been fried, put it aside and allow it to cool. Using a small bowl, mix honey (one spoon), a pinch of salt, a cup of water, and half spoon of corn starch. Stir the mixture until evenly blend. Then, in a hot wok or pot, drop two spoons of cooking oil, a spoonful of chopped garlic and ginger. Stir until the garlic turn brown then add the honey garlic mixture into the wok. Once the mixture boils, pour onto the bite size meat nuggets. Serve when it is still hot.
