Lemongrass Chops

[Tim Campbell]

No plated shot...sorry. Basic Vietnamese thin-cut pork chops. Marinated about 5 hrs in a blend of good stuff. Did-up the lemongrass in my mortar and pestle with a bunch of other ingredients: garlic, shallot, fish sauce, white peppercorn and palm sugar.

On the grill for a couple minutes per side over direct. JD lump



Resting.



Good to go. Served with a green salad and a cup of rice. Simple but good.



Good week, all!

Thanks! I use a blend of a couple different recipes but my starting point was Serious Eats.
I varied the amounts of fish oil and palm sugar. Didn't make the nuoc cham sauce this time.

Tim,
I have never seen a cook/recipe like this. This is one of the reasons I love this site. Thanks for adding the recipe, I have bookmarked this one, it is on the short list of cooks I want to try. Top notch!

 

[Tim Campbell]

Thanks Michael! Super easy to do. Next time I make it, I will go with blade-end chops.

Looks great! one of my favorite ways to pork. The local Vietnamese restaurant that I like has a dish where they take the grilled pork and coat it with panko and fry. So you end up with awesome bbq pork katsu style. You can request it in their Bahn Mi sandwiches, super tasty.

 

[Tim Campbell]

That sounds really good, Case. We have a local place that just opened...killer bahn mi
