Honey Garlic Pork

[MikeTVogel]

So I gave this a go and... wow. Awesome. Def. going to try it with chicken next time.

I added some red chilli flakes to it for a bit of "heat", and it worked out perfectly. I had to reduce it longer than you suggest, but I think I also added more water than intended at that step. No biggie, still turned out fine.

It has a very mall chinese food thing about it, which is great.. because I love mall chinese food from time to time, and at least this way I know exactly what's in it :)

[kooktocook]

@MikeTVogel The recipe is very similar to Garlic Spareribs (see my vid. 'Honey Garlic Spareribs' (or ribs, something like that). A bit different but pretty much the same recipe.

Yes, it is always good to know what is in it lol. I have added the chili peppers too. The recipe can easily go towards a Szechuan pork (or sauce). Just add 5 spice (see my Five SPice vid.) and Szechuan peppercorns. Happy you enjoyed it! All the best! KtC

[z3lza777]

lol i made something like this last night. except that i didnt put any onion and garlics on it. i used pepper, honey and oregano instead. :)

[lupine73]

Seems you could do this with chicken just the same. Gonna give this a try. Seems straight forward enough, to be sure.

[kooktocook]

@lupine73 An easy one with a lot of taste no doubt. Yep, chicken works too! cheers! KtC

[Getrealpeeps]

this looks soooooo good I'm going to try this.

:)

[kooktocook]

@Getrealpeeps Big time fav. around here. I like to go heavy on the garlic and honey. Have a great day! KtC

[imthatswhatsup]

Is this chinese food??

[kooktocook]

@imthatswhatsup A variation of 'Garlic Spareribs' (see my Garlic Sparerib vid.).

[iSiLv4]

I'm so stoned...

[feliciateo]

Does anyone knows the history and origin of the honey barbecue ribs? Please tell me if you do. Thanks!!

[kooktocook]

@feliciateo Char siu sauce. See my vid. 'Char Siu'

Very Yum!

[LesleyGonz713]

can u do this w chiken?.

[kooktocook]

@LesleyGonz713 Yes, chicken will work.

[TheCanadianNerd]

i didnt have any ginger at the time so what i ended up doing was adding a bit of coriander and adding a tade of orange juice and orange zest it was great

[kooktocook]

@TheCanadianNerd Most recipes are guidlines and can be improvised with what is available. The zest would be a nice touch. Sound good. Happy you enjoyed it. thanks for letting me know. cheers, KtC

[TheTnyc]

What are the exact ingredients measurements ?

[kooktocook]

@TheTnyc Hi! Should be in the comments below. As much garlic as you like :) cheers! KtC

[ChristianInHollywood]

I just made this and it works really well except for the thickening, I think I may have used too much water. So I dissolved a bit of cornstarch in cold water and added it to the boiling pot. The sauce thickened instantly. I'm eating it now. I would recommend it with rice instead of chow mein, which is what I have at the moment. The chow mein contrasts too much with the sweetness of the pork. But an excellent recipe for sure!

[kooktocook]

@ChristianInHollywood Hello! The cornstarch will do the trick. More honey will thicken it up a bit too. The sauce should thickem as it is boiled/ simmer. Yep, too much water and it will take forever.

I enjoy it with the rice. We also like a veggie stir-fry with it too. As anything, next time around will be perfect. Thanks for the feedback/ thoughts. cheers! KtC

[lllHanzolll]

looks like Adobo to me :)

[kooktocook]

@lllHanzolll Similar I suppose but a bit different as this thickens up. The recipe here is similar for Garlic Spareribs. I have an Adobo chicken posted and the ribs too. cheers, KtC

[DundrMifflin]

hey can i use regular soy sauce for this? I cant find the dark ones

[kooktocook]

@DundrMifflin It should be available in most grocers beside the regular stuff. It does taste much different and works well with the recipe. You can use regular but it will be missing something. Good luck! KtC

[ArrcanarStudios]

I love any type of honey chicken. Asian, European. ANYTHING!!! It is my favourite dishe'.

[kooktocook]

@ArrcanarStudios Me too. I go out of my way to get the pure honey. Direct from the bee-keeper! cheers, KtC

[steve999m]

Hello KtC, Can You recomend a dark soy sauce brand that does'nt have M.S.G. ? Thanks SM

[kooktocook]

@steve999m I use Superior Dark Soy Sauce (imported from China under the Rooster manufacturing name). It doesn't have MSG. It should be noted that even if they say no MSG doesn't mean there isn't (some still do). I like the Superior Soy Sauces for they are quite authentic in quality and taste. You may not be able to get it in the U.S. but you can ask around. You can always check out the labels in your nearby grocer too. What is often available here, is not always found in the U.S.

cheers, KtC

[steve999m]

I'm kinda new to this KtC, Could You do me a fave and post the measurements?

[kooktocook]

@steve999m Pork Loin 1 to 2 lbs. 2-3 tbsp. cooking oil to fry up the pork 1/4 cup onion chopped 2-3 garlic cloves mince (or more) ginger powder 1/2 tsp. or fresh ginger mince 1tbsp. pepper 1 tsp. water just enough to cover the meat dark soy'a' sauce 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup The only thing you can add too much of is the dark soy sauce.

[steve999m]

@steve999m Thanks Bro...I'm a new fan of Yours, I'll be in touch.

[steve999m]

Thats rock'in Son !!!

[kooktocook]

@steve999m One of my favourite recipes. A nice one to load up on the garlic. My Garlic rib vid. is similar. Enjoy and thank you! KtC

[WellingtonBoots1]

It would be nice if you gave the measurements

[Lonewolf1fl]

just made this with Chicken, turned out great! thanks

[kooktocook]

The chicken is really good. I tend to cook it first then add it the sauce (prepared seperately). Only to avoid cooking the chicken too long. Yep, a really good one.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. cheers! KtC

[shannonleta]

Delicious!!!!

[schuykill23]

Can I saute the garlic, onion, ginger, soysauce and pork first before adding the honey? Or it must be like your cooking? Just a question :D

[kooktocook]

You could certainly saute the onion, garlic and ginger first, then add the pork (cook). After that though it is more stewing everything together (blending all the flavours). The honey will assist in thickening it all and make it more 'gooey' as the liquid reduces. KtC

[Dennischek]

Hello , I'm wondering that how much amount of ingredient should I prepare , and Can I use normal onion ? and that's soy sause right ? I'll appreciate it if you answer this Thank you.

[kooktocook]

pork 1lbs. onion 1/4 cup chop garlic 1/4 cup chop (or more if you like garlic) ginger 1/4 cup chop pepper 1 tsp. sugar 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup dark soy sauce 1/4 cup add water to just cover the food, boil and simmer down to thick sauce. any onion is fine! cheers! KtC

[Dennischek]

How considerate ! Thank you so much

[shtapipa]

now thats the way to show a great easy recipe using pork.......fantastic!!! simple!!!! and quick!!!! what can i use instead of ginger?????thanx

[Luv4Everchannel]

Looks fabulous! Thank you for the recipe. May I suggest sprinkling toasted white sesame seeds on top as an added finishing touch. :)

[kooktocook]

Sesame seeds would be a nice touch. cheers! KtC

[huntmenow4u]

my mom always makes it with chicken wings....i`ll suggest this one to her :D

[AMULDARRY]

hello...why u cut the meat in the pan and not before?

[kooktocook]

Just my preference on this one. Either way will work. cheers KTC

[mistermuffin420]

and im sure it makes things easier video editing-wise

[kooktocook]

Yep!

[onionhead007]

this just made my mouth water.

[szchoedee]

cooking while cutting up those meat, o yeah

[kooktocook]

and it's fun :) Thank you, KtC

[puffslide25]

kind of adobo..yummy!

[Fierybutterflywings]

Hey Ktc, I just wanted to let you know that I cooked this for dinner tonight and my family devoured it! EVERYONE loved it! I love alot of garlic like you, so I did add more garlic. Otherwise, it was the same as yours. Again, thank you so much for posting it.

[kooktocook]

Happy you liked it! Isn't it mouth watering?Nice to hear back from folks. Keep in touch, cheers! KtC

[Fierybutterflywings]

It really is. I don't usually hear much from the kids. They usually eat and go along their ways... tv, reading, etc. But they actually complimented me on the dish! I certainly had to let you know... I give you the credit :D

[Fierybutterflywings]

I'm SOOO trying this one out... looks DELICIOUS! Thank you for posting this for us.

[kooktocook]

Thank you very much, a favourite of mine. The recipe is a guideline and can be adjusted to taste. Fresh ginger works wonders too as well as plenty of garlic. The dark soya sauce (strong flavour) is balanced by the honey/ sugar so start with about a 1/4 cup of each. Just cover with water (or try half orange juice/ water), simmer and reduce. A recipe you can make your own. Have a great day! cheers, KtC

[ChefTips]

The finished product looked amazing! Great work KtC!

Cheers!

[kooktocook]

Thank you Jason. A sparerib recipe applied to the pork loin cut. I enjoy your videos/ recipes too mate. cheers! KtC

[jubaliciouz]

tried it and it's soo good! can i use chicken aside from pork?

[kooktocook]

I love this stuff. I put loads of garlic in it. Prepare the chicken (until cooked) then remove, set aside and prepare sauce. As sauce thickens place chicken back in pan (5 minute before serving). You could make it as the pork, but the chicken may be too spongy if in the liquid too long. cheers, KtC

[jhingcutie76]

im gonna try this looks yummy...

[IndonesianFoods]

WOW! Looks good. Thanks for sharing :)

[nuttybar9]
