I ponder what number of recipes I’ve revealed with sticky within the title…

Sticky hen stir fry, Gingerbread cake with Sticky Whisky glaze, sticky Asian sea bass this sticky pork stomach and AT LEAST ten others (simply did a fast depend).  I am all in regards to the sticky. Simply name me sticky Nicky.

Really do not. That sounds bizarre.

I typically prefer to child myself and name it caramelized – like this ‘caramelized beef brisket‘.  However on the finish of the day, I simply imply coated in some sort of sugar after which cooked till you attain the darkish brown, shiny stage, creating an intense flavour that takes no matter you’ve simply made to a complete new stage. How might something completed in that method not style wonderful?

For this recipe, the sticky layer is added proper on the finish.  Do not be fooled although.  Simply because the pork hasn’t been marinating for hours, does not imply it is not going to style wonderful (I confused myself with double negatives there, however I am mainly saying it tastes wonderful despite the fact that we’re solely glazing on the finish).
