This is one the best tasting Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken I have tasted, this recipe could also be made with all chicken as you can read from other reviews by clicking here. The sauce is so good my only downer was I should have doubled as it is excellent and it would have been nice to have some extra to go with my egg fried rice I accompanied this with. I will be making this one often and it has gone down in my favourites.
