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.

Ingredients

1 large shallot, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons dark or regular soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 (1/4-1/2-inch-thick) bone-in pork rib chops
Kosher salt
3 firm red plums, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 scallions, dark- and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced
2 cups torn mixed herb leaves (such as Thai or sweet basil, cilantro, and/or mint)
1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
Lime wedges (for serving)

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon nam pla, or to taste, or soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork chops or country-style ribs
1 lime, quartered
Chopped Thai basil or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Whisk lemongrass, garlic, honey and nam pla in large bowl. Add lime juice and pepper. Place pork in the bowl, turning to coat; let stand while you preheat grill or broiler.
Grill or broil pork, spooning marinade over as it cooks, until nicely done, about 10 minutes. Turn only once so that each side browns nicely. Serve with remaining lime and, if you like, the herb garnish.
