VIETNAMESE/CHINESE PORK CHOPS



Vietnamese/Chinese Pork Chops image

My mom and I developed this recipe together. We call it Vietnamese/Chinese because the fish sauce is from Vietnamese cuisine and 5 spice powder from Chinese cuisine. It is our favorite marinade for pork chops. If you buy your pork chops from an Asian market, let them know what you're cooking. Generally, the thinner the chop, the better.

VIETNAMESE-SPICED PORK CHOPS



Vietnamese-Spiced Pork Chops image

Smooth this sweet-hot rub into the scored surface of the chops. Serve with rice. from Cooking light Oct 2003

Provided by Susie D

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (4 ounce) boneless center cut pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
cooking spray
sliced green onion (optional)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Lightly score a diamond pattern on both sides of pork. Combine the ingredients for the rub and rub evenly over pork. Let rest at least 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the pork chops their delicious flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. The recipe suggests a marinade made with soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. You can also add other ingredients to your marinade, such as brown sugar, honey, or chili peppers, to taste.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will be more likely to burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese-Chinese pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. The pork chops are marinated in a flavorful combination of ingredients and then cooked until they are tender and juicy. The pork chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
