Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken image

This is a combination of 2 recipes from the Australian Women's Weekly Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook which I have had since the 70's and is well used. Time to make doesn't include marinade time - I was cutting up vegetables for stir fry vegetables during this time, which were cooked up first and kept warm in the oven. The rice was cooking while cooking the chicken and pork - the whole meal was on the table within the hour.

This dish is very flavorful, but it's also very oily.

I'm allergic to ginger, so I substituted it with lemon zest. It turned out really well!

I added some vegetables to this dish, and it turned out great! I think next time I'll try adding some pineapple.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or pork.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon helped to balance out the flavor.
