"I love the versatility of this recipe! Often, we will use 1/2 the amount of meat listed and increase the vegetables. Vegetables listed below are what we like to use, but substitutions can easily be made. The original recipe called for onion and cabbage, but I prefer the mix below. The marinade may also be doubled with half reserved to use as sauce for the vegetables. The pork may be marinated up to overnight but only needs 15 minutes, it will have more flavor the longer it is marinated."

We really enjoyed this dish...I thought it would have a bit more punch in the tangy category...this was very easy to prepare...just prep everything in advance...I used all the ingredients listed but cut the broccoli florets in half and added chopped cabbage in place of it...I used soba noodles...next time I'm going to replace the vegetable oil with chili oil for extra heat...made for "Alphabet" tag game...

Enjoyed the dish, didn't have the same veggies in the cupboards so I used what I had on hand. We like a lot of sauce, so I think that I will double the marinade next time. Kids loved it--asking for it in tomorrow's lunch.
