Ingredients

  • 4 fillet Boneless Pork Chop
  • 3 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic Finely grated
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Flatten the pork chops with a meat hammer to an even thickness (1.5cm is recommended)
  • Let's marinate the pork first! Whisk together the fish sauce, garlic, garlic powder, sugar, turmeric powder, finely grated lemongrass, and black pepper.  Pour mixture over the pork and marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook pork for 3-4 minutes on each side until just cooked through.  Remove from heat to rest for 2 minutes.
  • To make the lemongrass dressing, combine the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and 1/4 cup of water in a jar and shake until the sugar dissolves. Stir fry the finely chopped lemongrass, shallots, and garlic. Pour some of the dressing into the stir-fried and mix it well. Served with pork chops and steamed rice.
