  • “i was in a hurry, had only weird things left in the fridge – i had everything i needed to make this dish – my husband loved it, my kids loved it – i thought it was great – i used 2 large pork steaks(which was what i had on hand) but apart from that followed the recipe, minus marinating – i just cooked the meat in the marinade and it turned out fine – my 6 yo son loved the “sauce” on his rice…:)”

  • “I think step one is marinating step only & step 2&3 are the actual cooking steps. In step 3 you add the marinated pork less garlic & peppercorns, just the juice. Thats what I did and turned out to be a wonderful dish. I just added another half cup of water & simmer longer to make the meat more tender. Adjusted my salt and vinegar accordingly. Worth the try!”

  • “I tried the recipe.It was good.I too thought it was strange to put garlic in twice.I did and the dish ended up with too much garlic taste.It was still good and would eat it again.”

  • “Tonkcats I love your recipes but there is a bit of confusion about this recipe.It didn’t say when to add the water so I thought that I should add it in the beginning with the pork & the garlic peppercorn etc as it was to cook for 30 minutes. This resulted in very pale looking pork.Then in step2 you say to cook the garlic – well it was already in the skillet in step one.I found that near the end ofthe cooking time that the resultwas quite bland so I added 1 tsp Carne Asada spice and 2 tbsps Szechuan sauce.results – excellent.As I said I love your recipes but this one was not to my taste buds!Thanks for all you other wonderful recipes that I have tried and loved Tonkcats”
