Today was an extremely busy day for me. Even though I finished
my grocery shopping early at 9:30 am, I had other things I needed to get done
by today. My new cabinet.
Yesterday, my bf and I went to Ikea. We finally got a new
cabinet for our dining room. See the pictures below. So my project today was to
organize the dining room and kitchen. I am so happy with the cabinet, it has
plenty of storage and it’s nice to look at too J.
During the time my bf was assembling the cabinet, I took the
time to start on the marinade for this pork chop recipe. It was delicious and
that is why I am posting this recipe. Enjoy!
Vietnamese Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop (adapted from Viet World Kitchen)
- 4 pork chops, bone-in, about 1 inch thick
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons garlic
- 3 tablespoons shallot
- 1 1/2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Using a mini food processor, pulse the sugar, garlic, shallot, and lemongrass to a mince-like texture. Add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil, and process to combine well.
Place the pork chops in a large zip-lock bag, and pour the marinade to coat. Squish the marinade around to coat the pork chops evenly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, up to 24 hours. Allow the pork chops to rest at room temperature, about 30-45 minutes, before grilling.
Over medium-high heat, pan fried the pork chops 2-3 minutes each side.
Serve with brown rice, cucumber and vietnamese dipping sauce.
