Honey Pork

This recipe is from "Classic Nonya Dishes" by Patricia Lee from Chilli Padi. When Jerome & I were staying at Katong area, we went to Chilli Padi for dinner on quite a few occasions. Honey Pork is a dish that we would always order. The pork is cut into strips, marinaded & deep fried. The honey sauce that coats the pork is what made the dish a winner. We just can't seem to get enough of it. So now that we've shifted & I've bought her cook book, I can try the recipe at home :) I'm going to try using chicken meat next time & see how it goes.
