Pork with Yellow and Red Peppers

Easy, Quick but Healthy Pork with Yellow and Red Peppers
I wanted to make a quick and easy but healthy pork dish for my family and found this recipe on the net. I only made a version of my own by adding fish sauce instead of canned anchovy fillets which the recipe I saw online really required. 

This is also the day I thanked the Italians for inventing balsamic vinegar! It was my first time to try this famous ingredient that most chefs use for their cooking and I fell in love with the strong but smooth sweet and sour flavour it contributes to meat dishes, veggies and fruits!:D 

PGI Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
