3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp green peppercorns, crushed
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar

I love Asian food and am trying to learn to cook more! This sounds really good. I tried a recipe for chicken and cabbage that turned out really good: http://pearlcabin.blogspot.com/2011/02/asian-inspired-chicken-cabbage.html
