This recipe was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth the effort. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I had some trouble finding watercress, so I used spinach instead. It was still very good.

The orange sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to easily adjust the recipe to make it more to my liking.

I had some leftover pork and rice, and I made a delicious stir-fry with them the next day.

I substituted brown rice for the white rice, and it turned out really well. The nutty flavor of the brown rice paired nicely with the orange sauce.

The watercress rice was a great complement to the pork, adding a freshness and vibrancy to the dish.
