Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Honey Garlic Pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the rice and chicken are kept separate to maintain the best texture and flavor.
Reheating: To reheat, place the chicken and sauce in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent uneven heating.
Serving: Serve the Honey Garlic Pork over freshly cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions. For added flavor and texture, consider topping with sesame seeds or a drizzle of extra soy sauce.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey-soy mixture for 30 minutes before cooking. This will enhance the taste and tenderness of the meat.
