Notes

Saw this one on TV this morning. I made a few changes to suit 2 people with leftovers for a lunch the next day. Tasted great and much less salt than you would get ordering it out.

    I won't use pork again; but this recipe would be delicious with chicken.

    I wish I'd seen this before I made tonight's chicken dinner. I'll bet it's just as good with chicken, and I am going to give it a try (with a bit less ginger, since I don't care for ginger much).

    Thanks.
