"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. Also please feel free to use all chicken or all pork."

Done exactly as recipe, including seperate marination, cooking, etc, this was delicious and to be honest, very simple!!! It was a little citrusy, but since I generaly have a heavy hand with lemon juice, maybe I threw in more than was needed!!! Since I love citrus, certainly didnt worry me, just noticed it. I made 2/3 of the recipe which gave us a great dinner and plenty for DHs lunch (maybe more than 1 lunch). Lovely recipe, thanks for sharing, Pat!! made for Consideration Tag game
