I used 2 pork tenderloins for this recipe and left them whole. I skipped the green chili peppers but made the rest as listed. We enjoyed this with some shrimp, sauteed veggies and basmati rice. Yum!! The blend of flavours in this are so good - I particularly liked the lemongrass. Made for Zaar Stars tag game. Thanks I'mPat! :)

Quick and tasty. I used leftover pork roast, so I did brown it but did not marinate in soy sauce and cooked overall for a shorter period of time. I used sunflower oil instead of olive. I added some soy at the end. I also used just a touch of cinnamon - I have found that I don't care for it all that much, but just a hint works ok for us. I did add some oriental-style veggies, and served with udon noodles that needed using.

WOW, this has a kick of flavor and tastes awesome. I didn't have any green chillies so I used a couple of finger chilies for the heat and it was amazing. We used a small package of pork ribs from the supermarket and that was more than enough meat for 4 servings. There is a simplicity to the preparation of this dish with complex and powerful flavors. I am cooking more Vietnamese this year as I am hosting a Vietnamese exchange student and this is helping me understand her culture/ her to feel less homesick.

Wow, what a great recipe I'mPat. My dh & I were in spice heaven tonight. I served this hot and spicy treat over steamed jasmin rice for a memorable meal. I used all the required ingredients, the only exception was that I used 3 thai chilies and pork tenderloin. I loved that you could taste the cinnamon. The lemon grass and the ginger helped to make the dish nice and spicy. Thanks for sharing another winner.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
