I'm always looking for new and different things to do with pork and this recipe, simple, quick and delicious, is a new staple in my menu planning.

So, I marinated the pork in the soy and ginger, increasing the amount of ginger to 1\/2 teaspoon, in a covered dish in the fridge for 30 minutes. That made the pork very tender and just the right amount of flavor. I used an Asian flavored 90 second rice, and did add the suggested options of green onions and sesame seeds. I liked the idea of using the meat cut into strips instead of chunks. Instead of cold water to mix with the cornstarch, I used cold coffee, and that made the flavors deeper and more rich. Good idea, just needed some tweaking. Now it is one of our favorites.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-11-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueFlask"},"reviewBody":"Love this!
