My sister made a similar recipe during one of her visits and it was an instant success with my family, even earning acclaim from my 3 year old. It’s a perfect salty, slightly sweet protein with just the right amount of kick. Paired with jasmine rice and roasted broccolini, it makes the perfect Asian inspired dinner.

- Add the meat back to the pan along with the liquid mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until liquid is slightly reduced.
