I thought this was good, SO thought there was too much pepper. I will admit that the black pepper was a very strong flavor, but I happen to really like black pepper. If I make this again, I would cut the black pepper in half to appease SO.

Wow! There's a party in my mouth! I subbed sriracha sauce for the fresh chilies (allergies) but otherwise made per recipe. Thanks so much for sharing - this was delicious!

Totally fabulous! I used a bit more pork loin and fish sauce. The peppercorn flavor put it over the top. I wasn't sure about the chili peppers, I used two small red hot peppers and minced them. The heat was perfect. Thank you for this recipe, a definite keeper.
