This was very tastey. I omitted the chile oil and the chile because my son doesn't like hot food. Instead ofusing peanut oil I used 2 ts. of olive oil. Was a hit, I also only used 1 1/2 ts. of sessame oil because of the fat grams. My kids loved it.

I made some adjustments to this recipe so I'm going to rate this manly on the sauce so here goes. I used a left over cooked tendorloin that I grilled last night. I thought it would work because the marinade was lime, garlic, ginger, peppers, soy and sesame oil. For the folks that thought it had a lot of lime flavor...maybe use half a lime. That is what I did because I had a large lime. I think what folks may have been picking up on was the acid flavor from the lime and from the rice vinegar. I thought the sauce flavor was ok. The next time I would cut back the rice vinegar to 1 TBS and increase the soy or eliminate the lime or the rice vinegar (I'm not sure you need both). I also would use 1/2 of a SMALL lime if you want to. I also added a clove a garlic (what stir fry doesn't have garlic?) I actually had to re-read the recipe to make sure I didn't miss it. I would add more garlic next time (2-3 cloves). The recipe called for green chiles. In the Southwest that can mean many different things. I used 1/2 jalapeno and I would use a whole one next time. I think you loose a lot of the "heat" when you heat up the jalapenos. I did add the chile oil in the end, but it was not spicey for my taste (my pickey one ate it with no complaints read not spicey at all). All in all it was an ok recipe. I have some other stir fry recipes that I enjoy better. I think this one could be tweaked to make an outstanding recipe.

Very Tasty. I do think next time I will add a bit more sauce to it. I also forgot to add the chili oil and the nuts, but I will add that to the leftovers. But this was tasty without those things. I think I'd like to add water chestnuts next time too. I served this over some shirataki noodles. Yummy and filling dinner.

It's not very often that I give such a low rating, but this was terrible!! I think the name should be changed to Lime Pork Stirfry, as this was the predominate flavour in the dish. Sorry:(

I agree on this being a good base for other things but my whole family and I really liked this just like it is. Its very easy to do. Very good, thanks! Update: Ive had to come back and change my rating to 5 star from 4. Every time I make this I have to double or triple the recipe or there isnt enough. My family inhales this. Once they ate it so fast, I didnt get any (teach me not to fix drinks etc for everyone. noone waited on me!).

Solid recipe. But do yourself a favor and cut up an onion and add it during the rest of the vegetables. Then don't kill yourself trying to find chili oil in your lousy local supermarket. It ain't there. Instead, get some of that Thai Chili Sauce in the ethnic aisle and let people decide on their own level of spice.

It was OK at best. It was a little bit too sour and not very spicy, not the taste I expected at all. I followed the recipe exactly, so maybe with a little less sour flavour it would be better

I couldn't find the peas, but it still worked nicely using green beans instead. I will definately use this recipe again.

This looks unappetizing. I would love to be able to say that I messed up; but I didn't. I have made stir frys since I was twelve and never had one looks this gross. BEWARE!

I loved this recipe. I made it low fat by eliminating all but 1 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, using 3 jalapeno peppers, whole button mushrooms and hot sauce. I'm making another batch today to freeze in small one portion containers. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!!

It turns out better than expected but not super spicy. The vinegar/lime touch with peanuts makes this dish stands out. I like it with more gravy so I added beef broth and lime juice in step 2, yummy!

This was wonderful! We made a few changes to the original recipe by skipping the cornstarch, tripling the sauce because we added pasta to the stir fry ,and adding some lemon juice at the end. We used chili paste instead of chili oil, and red pepper instead of the chilis, and we used olive oil instead of peanut oil.

Fantastic recipe - one of the best stir fry's i've ever had. I used lemon instead of lime, olive instead of peanut oil, and no peanuts. Instead of the fresh chile peppers i used cayennes. It was nice and spicy and the lemon and vinegar made the meal.

I surprised that this recipe has gotten such high marks. I carefully followed the directions and used the right ingredients, but I was very disappointed. The pork was nice and tender, but the flavor was not particularly enjoyable. I love spicy food, but this is not a recipe that I'll try again.

This was very good! I didn't put as much of the chili oil as it called for. It still had a kick though! I added some celery and water chestnuts too and instead of the peppers I used crushed red pepper flakes.
