Honey chicken

Hello all! Remember the sneak-peak to the honey chicken i had?

Well, here is the recipe for it. It was simple but time consuming, and it turned out great!

Here it is:

You dont need a lot of ingredients for this recipe.

All you need is your choice of meat; it can be pork, chicken etc.

Some water, olive oil (a few tablespoons) and honey.

The salad was a spicy mexican salad. It had the dressing in it and all we did was mix it all together.

For some extra taste, we cut up an orange. It really paired well with the honey chicken.

Put 2  tablespoons or so of olive oil in your pan or pot and then add water to it. Put it on your oven coils on very low heat.  Add the pork/chicken and let it slow cook for 30  minutes or until fully cooked through. The low heat will make sure that your pork doenst burn and the water will not evaporate as fast. If you aren't sure whether it's fully cooked through, cut it through the thickest part and if there is any red or raw meat showing, keep it on the fire.

When your meat has fully cooked add the honey to your pan (while the pan is still on the low fire) and mix it with the remaining water/oil, while making sure you are coving your choice of meat with the honey mixture. The oil and water will help the honey stick on your meat better.

And that's it! It was so good!! The salad was a surprise for us because we didn't see that it was a pre-made one when we bought it. We decided to try it out and mixed the dressing with the vegetables and it turned out really  tasty.

Hope your guys enjoy this.

Let me know what you think.

Pork in Red wine and honey-mustard sauce.

One of the best lunches I've had in some time!!

You can pair it with some bread but it's so good that I didn't want to ruin its taste with bread or anything else!

If you don't have an ingredient listed here then you can improvise with what you've got. Use what meat you have, or what wine you prefer. The spring rolls are not perfect, but we used what we had at home, i can imagine more onion would suit it, grated carrot, maybe rice inside? Next time they will be different.

But go on ahead and read the recipe! :)

Ingredients for 2 people

• 2 pork cutlets sliced up
• Olive oil for stir frying

For the Sauce

• 2 oranges
• 4 tablespoons red dry wine
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

For the fresh spring rolls

• 4 rice papers
• 1 package of bean sprouts
• parley chopped up 
• some leek
• onion
• black sesame

Peel the oranges, remove any seeds and cut them up. Put them in a blender along with all the ingredients for our sauce and blend until it's a puree.

Stir fry the pork strips for about 3 minutes with olive oil, then add the sauce and let it cook slowly for about half an hour, until it starts to thicken up. We had pork cutlets in hand, but you can just as easily pick up pork strips for stir frying at the store!

For the fresh spring rolls, we just used up what we had in the fridge. We chopped up some leek, onion, leek and parley and placed it along with black sesame and sprouts in a rice paper (you have to place it in warm water first so it becomes usable). You can eat them right away after wrapping them, or you may warm them up (just put them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes).


That's it! Hope you can try it out and let me know what you think :)
