If you never tried Vietnamese Pork chops, its slightly sweet and savoury.

Marinade below makes enough for 5lbs of pork chops

1 Cup - Fish Sauce
1 Cup - Sugar (Many variations to this, the restaurant I got the recipe from actually caramelized 2 cup sugar)
1/4 cup - vegetable oil
6 - Lemongrass (Soft Center, I use the paste sometimes when lazy)
1 - Whole Garlic or Shallot
Chili paste - Optional
Black pepper - Optional

Blended all the ingredients together.

Marinated some pork chops in a ziplock overnight. Wanted to try reverse sear for the first time. 10min indirect until 130-135. Then sear to 145. The strip loin sides were a little dry. The tenderloin sides were juicy.





 
They look awesome. I haven't tried Vietnamese pork chops but I do love the southeast Asian flavor profile. I'll have to try it.
 
Wow Matthew, that is one fantastic cook. Looks so delicious. Thanks for the marinade recipe. Will definitely try it. Your pictures are superb. Agree with Dave from Denver's comment on your plate. Very nice.
 
Those look great! My cousin recently gave me a bottle of korean bbq marinade that she used on her ribs when i had dinner there. They were awesome, can't wait to try them out myself.
 
Thanks all. If you guys plan to make the marinate, don't skimp out on the sugar. Fish sauce is extremely salty. It balances each other out.

I like marinating my wings with korean bbq sauce. The Asian pear works well tenderizing and absorbing into the meat.

Your mairnade is similar to Vietnamese dipping sauce. Minus the orange juice and regular sugar instead of brown. I love the taste. My in-laws gave me a jug. Taste great with rice, pork chops, spring rolls etc...
 
Very Nice! Since you like those you should try Nem Nuong (char grilled pork sausage) It takes a bit of prep but it so worth it!

Case! Nem Nuong is my favourite. I can eat that everyday. My wife buys the pre-made seasoning. Just add water and mix with the meat. I usually tell her to make them into burger shapes.

Nem Nuong burgers.. ohh so craving them now.
