Ingredients

2 lb pork chops (about 6 chops)
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate (MSG)
4 Tbsp neutral cooking oil
6 Tbsp lemongrass, minced
2 Tbsp garlic, minced (about 6 cloves)
2 Tbsp shallots, minced
1 tomato, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
6 leaves green leaf lettuce
3 Tbsp scallion & oil (mỡ hành)
3 Tbsp dipping fish sauce (nước chấm)

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 1" thick-cut bone-in pork chops (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Lime halves (for serving)

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.
