VIETNAMESE GRILLED PORK CHOPS

PREP TIME

COOK TIME

10 minutes
SERVES

4
Ingredients

4 x 150g (5 oz) boneless pork loin chops

3 tbsp fish sauce

2 garlic cloves, finely grated

1 tsp sugar

¼ tsp turmeric

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 Lebanese cucumber, sliced

2 tomatoes, sliced

4 fried eggs

steamed rice to serve

 

Nuoc Cham dressing:

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup fish sauce

¼ cup white vinegar

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp finely chopped red chilli

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Steps
Step 1

Cover pork chops with baking paper or cling film and use a rolling pin or saucepan to pound to an even 1.5cm thickness.

Step 2

For the pork marinade, whisk together the fish sauce, garlic, sugar, turmeric and pepper.  Pour mixture over the pork and marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, to make the nuoc cham dressing, combine the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, lime juice and 1/4 cup of water in a jar and shake until the sugar dissolves. This can be stored in the fridge to use for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, pour out a small bowlful of the dressing and add the chilli and garlic.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook pork for 3-4 minutes each side until just cooked through.  Remove from heat to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Serve pork with rice, egg, tomatoes and cucumber.  Top the whole lot with generous spoonfuls of dressing.

Wow so good!

I’m a serious home cook who’s wanted to take on Asian cooking styles for quite some time. I found Marion and found some confidence to try. This recipe is amazing- incorporating the different flavors I have been looking for in a simple way. So delicious! Made this with Marion’s fried rice. We loved it – can’t wait to try the next recipe!
