Charlie Chan Pasta (my version)

I love Yellow Cab's Charlie Chan pasta! And the work mates love it too, so I decided to search the interwebz for a copycat recipe. I tweaked the recipe a bit, swapping out the chicken for pork, made a huge batch on Sunday to take to work for lunch. Try it and let me know what you think.
