Don't miss the fresh ginger in this recipe! The ginger tastes good and it's really cheap. I personally buy ginger for a small button under $1 at the grocery store and just as I need it, I use a cheese grater to grate the amount desired (I didn't even Peel first). I keep it on the counter for up to a week of 3-4 and if I notice started to get a little older, I threw it into the freezer (and I grated the frozen right from the next time I need ginger). It's perfect in stir-fries, Marinades or even adding a few pieces to the water when you cook rice!
It creates a lot of honey garlic sauce so it was perfect for rice or noodles. Most of the time we piled on a bed of rice and serve with some steamed vegetables (such as broccoli or even the Sesame ginger snap peas) on the side for an easy delicious meal. I've also served it over noodles with our favorite Asian stir-fry vegetables.
