The roast pork and garlic sauce is one of those evening dinners of the week that is quick, easy and you can use the leftover pork roast, which is also very inexpensive.
This is our favorite roast pork and garlic sauce! This is it and it is so good. If you’ve never had it, you’ll want to add it as a regular that I know I do.
Not all Chinese restaurants are created equal. We had a favorite in our neighborhood for years. Then they got up and moved, or left, I really don’t know what happened.
All the other Chinese places around here are not comparable to our favorites. When you get used to going to favorite and they’re just gone. You start longing for that one thing you can’t have anymore.
So we started experimenting with different recipes to see if we could find what was missing in our life. Our favorite roast pork and garlic sauce!
This is it and it is so good. If you’ve never had it, you’ll want to add it as a regular that I know I do. It’s one of those weekday dinners that’s quick, easy, and you can use the leftover pork roast, which is also very inexpensive.
I love it when those great picnic roasts go on sale, we’ll get three or four easy meals from a good 10-pound roast. Here’s the recipe we used for the pork picnic roast, but if you have a pork loin or a few boneless pork chops, it would work fine too.
Now I have to say that if my green onions look strangely big it’s because they are.
I planted them from a few whites of a normal green onion in the spring, and these things kept growing and growing.
I had to take a picture to show how big this green onion got. I didn’t measure it, but I’m pretty sure it’s approaching three feet tall!
What can you serve with this roast pork and garlic sauce using leftover pork roast?
- Since this is a dish found in virtually every Chinese food restaurant, white rice is a must.
- The Asian section in most grocery stores has a wide variety of noodles that you can serve with this. Our favorite, lo mein.
- The freezer department is a treasure trove of things that would go great with this roast pork and garlic sauce with scraps of roast pork; egg rolls, fried rice, and dumplings, to name just a few.
Some tips:
- It may seem strange to marinate meat, since it has already been cooked. But this extra step helps impart a little more flavor into the final dish.
- Water chestnuts and baby corn are good scrambled with this dish. Simply drain each can and add them at the end of step 3.
