You ever get one of those dishes that just makes your mouth water whenever you think about it?  Today, I’ve been craving Vietnamese pork chops.  Here’s a great recipe I found of grilled lemongrass pork chops, so you can start salivating over it too.  The tang of the fish sauce and lemongrass, a little bit of sugar, and juicy pork chops make a perfect combination.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.

 

Recipe Yields 2 Entree Portions

• 1 lb (4 thin slices) center-cut loin pork chops, bone in
• Vietnamese fish sauce to taste
• Fine sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 stalks fresh lemongrass, minced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Bird’s eye chili, seeded & minced
• Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

 

Directions

Marinate pork chops with ingredients for at least a couple hours. These chops are best grilled over hot charcoal, but a really hot oven broiler or pan will do in a squeeze. Serve them with hot jasmine rice, a fried egg, sliced tomato and sweet pepper. Garnish rice and chops with fried scallion and drizzle generously with dipping sauce right before eating.
