Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mild honey, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.

Step 2

Pour the oil into a skillet over medium high heat and swirl to coat. Let it heat until it is shimmering.

Step 3

While the oil heats, sprinkle the pork strips with kosher salt and black pepper then toss with your hands to distribute it evenly.

Step 4

Carefully add the pork to the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the first side brown, flip the pieces with tongs or a spatula, and brown the second side. Transfer the pork to a plate.

Step 5

Raise the heat to high and pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add in the ginger and garlic powder and stir in.

Step 6

When the sauce is very bubbly and thickened like warm honey, toss the pork back in and toss constantly to coat everything and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky glaze on the pork.

Step 7

This can be served immediately over rice, noodles, or as finger food, or can be allowed to cool and be eaten cold.
