Followed the recipe exactly as written. It was really good and the family liked it. I found it a tiny bit too peppery, next time I will cut the black pepper in half. This is just personal preference, the recipe was great.

I will add a bit of hot sauce to this recipe. Other than that, it was pretty good. Quick and easy.

I used leftover pork tenderloin and it came together so quickly. I added the cornstarch to the chicken stock slurry to thicken the sauce. Served with rice and potstickers (from the freezer). It was a big hit with the fam.
Arthur White
It was very good. I used half the pepper and it was still quite spicy. I will be. Asking it again.
