It doesn’t take too long to get the marks! Just rotate them ~45 degrees after the first set of marks are on, then flip and repeat on the other side. Once the grill is preheated on high, you can lower temps a bit them throw the chops on.
#Vietnamese pork chops plus
I LOVE the smell of cooking these on the grill, plus you get these great looking sear marks. You could pull out the lemongrass and use this as an Asian marinade for any kind of meat.Īnd thats it! Pull em out of the marinade and discard the extra liquid. The lemongrass is what makes this marinade different than a normal one. You can flip it midway through marinating to ensure the chops are coated and marinating evenly. It’s going to take a bit of time to infuse these pork chops with all that incredibly aromatic garlic, shallot, and lemongrass, but the overnight wait is worth it. Marinade for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight. Look how much aromatic action we have going into this marinade: a fistful of garlic, shallots, and lemongrass!
If you don’t cut the edges like this, the chops will curl as it cooks, making it more difficult to manage and cook evenly unless you’re baking them. It looks kinda cool once you grill them up, but the important thing is that the pork chops will stay flat. About 3-5 cuts per chop, about 1″ deep each. These chops are something I used to eat all the time during late night food outings and it’s a dish that was the bulk of what Mom sold at her restaurant–so you bet I got some tips from her on this recipe! Prepping the pork chopsĪ cool trick for these “Asian pork chops” is to snip the pork chops around the edges like these. It comes with veggies and a lil’ bowl of dipping fish sauce on the side which goes great with Sambal Oelek (my choice!) or fresh chilies if you prefer.
Grilling adds an amazing aroma and sear, and as if the chops aren’t flavorful enough, they’re topped with scallions & oil. The marinade adds a ton of garlicky, lemongrassy flavor that pairs great with the pork chops. This quintessential rice dish of Vietnamese pork chops is packed with flavor, super easy to make, and a crowd pleaser!
