Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
For this orange pork and broccoli recipe we used mandarin oranges and orange juice to make the sauce. You can try out different fruit flavors with this sauce. I would also recommend trying out pineapple. To kick this sauce up a bit add some crushed red pepper flakes or chilies.
Instead of broccoli you could substitute a long list of vegetables, including asparagus, zucchini, green beans, eggplant, spinach, and peppers, to name a few. Choose the vegetables you most enjoy, or try something new. Either way, invent the recipe that works best for you.
