Directions
Pork Chops
- In a bowl combine lemongrass, garlic, shallots, brown sugar, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Place pork chops in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Pour over with lemongrass marinade. Refrigerate for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat grill to 350-400°F.
- Remove pork chops from marinade, making sure to remove as much marinade as possible. Discard remaining marinade. Grill chops about 3-5 minutes per side until well charred and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from grill and rest 3-10 minutes.
- Serve hot with rice, cucumber, and nuoc cham if desired.
Nuoc cham dip (optional)
- For nuoc cham dip if making, combine hot water, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and garlic. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add carrots and bird chilis if using. Set aside.
