Meh, I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The pork was dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I served it over rice, and everyone went back for seconds. I will definitely be making this again!
