Vietnamese Pork Chops | Recipes | Roland Foods

Ingredients

• 1.5 pound thin-cut pork chops
• 1/4 cup Roland® Olive Oil
• 4 tablespoons Roland® Thai Fish Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Roland® Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
• 3 tablespoons minced lemongrass
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
• Scallions, thinly sliced to garnish
• In a bowl, combine minced shallots, lemongrass, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, and oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves
• Place the pork chops in bowl or a zip-lock bag, pour in the marinade, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-6 hours
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350-450°F). Clean grill and then brush grates with some olive oil
• Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Let the pork chops sit at room temperature while the grill heats up
• Grill the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F
• Optional: While grilling, you can brush the pork chops with the leftover marinade for extra flavor. Alternatively, simmer the leftover marinade in a pan for a few minutes to create a glaze
• Remove pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh scallions and serve with a side of Nuoc Mam Cham dipping sauce
