Orange Glazed Pork is something that you should try to make if you want to make your lunch more interesting. If you are a fan of orange chicken, you will like this dish. It taste almost like it less the sticky texture.
I love to have orange glazed pork for lunch along with yang chow fried rice. If I am lazy (which is most of the time), I just make a simple ham and egg fried rice — plain rice will do too, but I suggest going with fried rice for a much better experience.

Can i substitute the corn starch with flour?
Vanjo Merano says
You can, but it won’t get crisp the way it does when cornstarch is used.
Mimi says
I’m sorry, but where’s the orange?
Vanjo Merano says
Orange is not needed here. The combination of ingredients (vinegar + sugar etc.) makes and orange-like flavor for this dish.
