How to Make a Vietnamese Pork Chop Recipe

Learn how to make an authentic Vietnamese pork chop recipe with a savory marinade and grilled to perfection. A delicious and easy dish to enjoy.

  • Total Time: 25 minute
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for grilling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, lemongrass, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Marinate the Pork:
    Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring the chops are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2-3 hours or overnight for best results).
  3. Preheat the Grill:
    Heat the grill to medium-high. Brush the grill with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Pork Chops:
    Grill the marinated pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (62.8°C).
  5. Serve:
    Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with steamed rice, pickled vegetables, or spring rolls for an authentic Vietnamese meal.
