Step 1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ginger and red-pepper flakes. Add pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, 4 hours or overnight.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pork, reserving marinade. Cook the pork until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, vinegar, cornstarch and reserved marinade and set aside.
