LEMONGRASS PORK PATTIES WITH VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE



Lemongrass Pork Patties With Vietnamese Dipping Sauce image

In Vietnam, little pork patties like this are often grilled over charcoal right on the street and diners sit and eat on (now iconic) little plastic stools. You can serve these patties simply wrapped in the lettuce leaves here, as a snack, or over vermicelli noodles, as a larger meal. What’s non-negotiable? Serve with plenty of herbs and the funky, salty, sour, sweet dipping sauce.

Yield Makes 12 2-inch patties

Number Of Ingredients 18

Patties:
1 pound ground pork
3 large cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion greens (from 3 to 4 scallions)
1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, lower 6 inches of tender bulb, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nuoc mam or nam pla)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Sauce and assembly:
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus more to taste
1 tablespoons sugar, plus more to taste
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
Pinch of crushed red pepper
12 lettuce leaves, such as Boston lettuce or iceberg
Herb sprigs, such as mint, cilantro and Thai basil

Steps:

  • For the patties:
  • In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together all of the ingredients, then form the mixture into twelve 2-inch patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
  • Preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes and set it up to grill over moderately high heat. Oil the grates. Grill the patties until brown grill marks form on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip the patties, then grill for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until cooked through but still juicy.
  • For the sauce and assembly:
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar with the sugar and water. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with more vinegar or sugar, depending on your taste.
  • Arrange the lettuce leaves and herb sprigs on a platter. To serve, wrap the pork patties and herb sprigs in lettuce and dip in the sauc

Time 40m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pork loin
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots or 1 tablespoon onion
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and finely chopped (3 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (black)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon oil (I prefer sesame oil)

Steps:

  • Cut the pork into pieces, you can leave it in steak sizes piece, or cut it into thin strips, depending on how much you want the marinade to cover.
  • Add sugar, minced garlic, minced shallot, chopped onion, and minced lemongrass to mini chop and blend into a fine texture.
  • Add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil and continue to blend.
  • Cover the pork with the marinade. I suggest letting it marinate for at least a few hours so it can really soak in the flavors.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through. You want a good char on this, like they do at the Vietnamese restaurants.
  • Remove, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
