Notes

The gravy is not thick. If you'd like thicker gravy you will need to add more cornstarch. Use one cup of water to mix with the cornstarch.
Be sure to mix the cornstarch with water first, or it will clump up.
If you don't have 24 hours to marinate the pork, you can marinate it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, and it will still taste great.
