Braised Pork in sweet soy sauce – This recipe is very simple and you could really use any pork meat you wish including ribs.

Pork is very common in my household, and that is because my husband loves pork. If he could eat pork every day for every meal I think he would. So I came about this recipe, because I am always looking for different ways of cooking pork. This recipe is very simple and you could really use any pork meat you wish including ribs, but I happened to have a small pork loin about 2 pounds, so I decided to use that, because it is very lean meat. It turned out delicious.

In a large skillet add the olive oil and heat over medium to high heat. Add the pork.

Cook the pork until it’s no longer pink.

While the pork is cooking, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the pork.

Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the sauce has reduced. There should only be about 3 tablespoons of sauce left. Stir the pork to make sure each piece is nicely coated. Garnish with parsley or green onions.
