Vietnamese grilled pork chops -suon nuong .

This is one of the famous dishes on the menu at most Vietnamese restaurants , usually served with broken rice ,  lettuce,cucumber , daikon and carrot  pickles and some mixed fish sauce . We sometime serve it with vermicelli and lots of veggies or sandwich for a quick breakfast . Whatever it goes with ,  it always makes a great dish . My recipe is always this simple :

6 thin sliced pork chops 

1 teaspoon  lemongrass  (the store bought minced lemongrass can be found in any Asian market in the frozen section )

3 shallots + 3 cloves garlic finely minced 

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

6 teaspoons honey

4 teaspoons oyster sauce

2 teaspoons  fish sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon cooking wine

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl .

Make sure the entire meat is evenly coated , let it rest overnight or at least 8-10 hours

preheat oven or the gas BBQ to 400F , grill 3 minutes each side or longer depending on the size and the thickness of  your meat .

Here's my breakfast - a great combination of grilled pork chop , sunny-side up egg ,some steamed rice , a small bowl of soup and mixed fish sauce .

Happy cooking :)
