Best Vietnamese Grilled Pork Chops With Mushrooms Recipes

VIETNAMESE PORK CHOPS (SườN NướNG)

Steps:

• Rinse pork chops under running water and lightly scrub with salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine and dissolve sugar and MSG. Then add the Marinade Aromatics.
• Marinade the pork chops in a bowl or bag in the fridge for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight.
• Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the extra liquid--you can keep the aromatics on that stuck to the chops though.

VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK AND RICE VERMICELLI NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Set aside.
• For the pork: Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a blender; puree about 20 seconds until smooth. Place the pork in a medium bowl, pour the marinade over the meat and massage the pork well. Marinate for at least 1 hour if time allows. Heat a grill pan, medium skillet or griddle to high and add the oil. When you see white wisps of smoke, saute the pork for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
• For the noodles: Soak the rice sticks in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, then boil the soaked rice sticks in 3 quarts (2.8 liters) of water in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) pot for about 12 minutes until al dente. Rinse them well under cold water in a fine mesh strainer and reserve.
• Assembly: Divide the noodles into 4 separate bowls. Place the pork on top of the noodles. Sprinkle the pork with radish, carrot, roasted peanuts and scallions. Pour Nuoc Cham Sauce over the noodles and mix them well like a salad.

VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• To make the marinade, combine the garlic, sugar, sauces, oil and whisky or sherry in a ziplock bag. Stir in the lemon grass and scallions. Add the pork chops, turning to coat them in the marinade. Cover and leave to marinate for 1-2 hours, and up to 24 hours for the most flavour.
• Lift the chops out of the marinade and place them on a barbecue over hot coals or on a grill (broiler) rack. Add the mushrooms and brush them with 15 ml/1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook the pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side and the mushrooms for about 2 minutes. Brush both with the marinade while cooking.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok or small frying pan, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chilies, fish sauce, lime juice, shallots, ground rice and chopped scallions. Put the pork chops and mushrooms on a large serving plate and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with the cilantro leaves and shredded scallions.
• To make your ground rice: in a dry non-stick fry pan toast dry uncooked rice until it is a light brown, then using either a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, grind until it is a powder.

PORK CHOPS WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustards, 1/2 cup of oil and sherry vinegar until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon remaining oil. Meanwhile, season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside to absorb the seasoning for a few minutes.
• When the oil begins to smoke, add the shiitake mushrooms to the pan, brown side down, in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat until the caps are seared all over. Using kitchen tongs, turn mushrooms on their other side and cook for a few more minutes until golden. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and set aside. Wipe skillet of any excess oil with a wad of paper towels and set over medium heat once again.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. When it begins to smoke, add the pork chops in a single layer (you may have to do this in two batches). Cook the pork chops over high heat until the first side is browned, 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Flip over the pork chops and place the skillet in the center of the oven. Cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until done to taste. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork chops to rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with mustard vinaigrette and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

VIETNAMESE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk shallot, brown sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, and pepper in a shallow dish. Using a fork, pierce pork chops all over (to allow marinade to penetrate faster) and add to marinade in dish. Turn to coat. Cover and let pork chops marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, 20 minutes.
• Remove pork chops from marinade, scraping off excess (reserve marinade for sauce). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly season pork chops with salt. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let pork chops rest 10 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Serve pork chops with reduced marinade and lime halves.
• DO AHEAD: Chops can be marinated 1 day ahead. Chill, turning bag occasionally.

VIETNAMESE-STYLE PORK CHOPS WITH FRESH HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Blend shallot, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil, and pepper in a blender. Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chop and turn to coat. Seal bag, pressing out air; chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.) Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip back into bag; season both sides with salt. Grill pork chops, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, toss plums, scallions, chile, herbs, bean sprouts, and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt; toss again.
• Serve pork with salad and lime wedges.
