vietnamese pork chops

My husband says these sous vide Vietnamese pork chops are the best pork chops he&#x27;s ever eaten. Period. Tons of flavor, moist and tender. His words.

Vietnamese Pork Chops (Sous Vide)

bone-in rib pork chops,

garlic powder

olive oil

soy sauce (low sodium is fine)

brown sugar ((honey

tbsp fish sauce (Note 1)

ginger

tsp red chili flakes

cilantro

tbsp lime juice (1 large lime or 2 smaller)

tsp garlic

cornstarch

HEAT SOUS VIDE BATH: Heat sous vide water to 142F.

MAKE MARINADE: Combine all marinade ingredients in glass measuring cup (not including fresh garlic, lime juice and cornstarch). Marinade will measure about 1/2 cup. You will use 1/4 cup (half of it) to add to the pork chops to sous vide cook; the other half for grilling/broiling.

PREPARE PORK CHOPS: Season pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in large zipper lock bag (or in two medium ones). Pour in half of the marinade (1/4 cup). Massage to distribute evenly. Reserve remaining marinade to make glaze.

COOK SOUS VIDE: Place unzipped bag of pork chops into water until top of bag is just above water line. Air will be pushed out. Then zip up bag. Let bag go - it should sink below water line. Cover (if using an oven-type sous vide machine) or follow manufacturer&#x27;s instructions. Cook for 1.5-4 hours (I cook thick chops for 2.5 hours or thinner ones for 1.5-2 hrs).

MAKE GLAZE: While chops are cooking sous vide, add lime juice, minced garlic and cornstarch to remaining marinade. Stir well to combine. Microwave for 45-60 seconds to thicken glaze. If too thick, add a touch of water.

FINISH PORK CHOPS: Heat grill to high (~500-550F). Remove chops from bag. Pat dry with paper towel. Brush glaze on both sides and edge of chops. Leave 1 tablespoon for serving. Note 2 to broil. Spray with oil to prevent sticking. Grill chops for 40-60 seconds per side to create grill marks. Brush the remaining tablespoon on the top side of chops. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired and serve.

Vietnamese pork chops recipe (with lemongrass)

Recipe video above. Pork infused with a Vietnamese lemongrass marinade, then cooked over high heat for an authentic char-grill like you get at Vietnamese street stalls! Economical pork shoulder is a tough cut of meat that&#39;s tenderised using a touch of baking soda. Even if you overcook these pork steaks, they are still tender inside!Use to make the popular Vietnamese rice noodle salad, Bún thịt nướng, or serve with coconut or jasmine rice and Asian slaw for a lovely dinner.

Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork steaks (tenderised!)

pork

canola oil

garlic (, finely minced)

lime juice

soy sauce ((all purpose

tbsp brown sugar ((tightly packed tablespoons))

tbsp oil ((canola, vegetable, peanut))

tsp baking soda/bi-carb (, for tenderising (Note 4))

Cut pork - Cut into 8 equal, thinnish slices of pork. I find it easiest using the knife on a 45° angle, but if you have the right shape piece you can just cut straight down.

Pound each steak to 5mm / 0.2&quot; thickness using the scary side of a meat mallet (jagged, not flat), using go-between (Note 5) or a freezer bag to avoid damaging the meat. (You can use baking paper for rolling pin or the flat side of the mallet.)

Marinade - Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, it will fizz when the baking soda is added! Add pork then toss well to coat using tongs. Transfer to a ziplock bag and marinate for 24 hours.

Remove pork from the marinade and brush off the lemongrass pieces. Discard marinade - it&#39;s done its job!

Cook - Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until you see wisps of smoke. Add 1 1/2 tbsp oil, then cook half the pork for 1 1/2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other side until nicely charred. Remove onto a plate. Scrape pan clean of loose black bits then cook the remaining pork.

Serve! Make Pork Noodle Bowls (bun thit nuong) or serve with rice and a side salad - see note 6 and in post for suggestions!

NOTE - The thin pork steaks are beyond well done in 2 1/2 minutes but it doesn&#39;t matter because the baking soda keeps them tender. It will be blushing pink inside due to the baking soda (same happens with beef). You could cook them for another 5 minutes and they will still be tender inside. Miracle!

These Vietnamese Pork Chops with Nuoc Cham sauce are well marinated for maximum flavor. Grilled or cooked in a skillet, they take your chops a whole new level!

This recipe for Vietnamese Pork Chops has the signature umami depth of flavor you find on a Vietnamese restaurant’s pork chop plate.

Vietnamese Pork Chops

brown sugar

garlic ((3 large cloves))

shallot

sweetened condensed milk ((optional))

onion powder

¼ cup neutral high smoke point oil

scallions ((finely chopped))

sugar ((or light brown sugar

rice vinegar

minced garlic

cucumbers

tomatoes

jasmine rice

First cut a series of ½-inch (1cm) incisions around the perimeter of your pork chops. This prevents them from curling while they cook. If your pork chops are thicker than about a half an inch, use a meat tenderizer or the back of your knife to pound them out to a ½-inch thickness.

Add the pork chops to a large bowl along with the brown sugar, lemongrass, garlic, shallot, sweetened condensed milk, fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and pepper. Mix with your hands until the marinade is well-mixed and the pork chops are well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.

While the pork chops are marinating, make your scallion oil and nuoc cham. Both of these come together really quickly. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat until a water droplet beads on the surface. Add your oil, followed by the scallions. They’ll immediately sizzle up, but they shouldn’t turn dark right away, or your heat is too high. Cook for 1 minute until the oil has permeated the scallions and they’re bright green. Remove from the heat and use a rubber spatula to transfer to a heat-proof bowl for serving. Stir in the salt.

To make the nuoc cham, dissolve the sugar in the hot water, and add the fish sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and garlic. Set aside.

Once you’re ready to cook the pork chops, prep your sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and start your rice.

Add the pork chops to the air fryer two at a time and air fry at 380°F for 10-12 minutes. When the first batch of pork chops is done, keep them warm on a plate tented with foil while the next batch cooks. When all the pork chops are cooked, you can pile them into the air fryer basket and let them heat through at 380°F for 2 minutes so all the pork chops are hot when they hit the table.

If you want to cook the pork chops in a skillet, preheat a pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoon of oil, and cook one chop at a time for 4-5 minutes on each side until brown and caramelized on both sides, reducing the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Serve the pork chops with the rice, cucumber, tomato, scallion oil, and nuoc cham. You can also cook up a fried egg if you like!

Hi Kaitlin!  You can find the annato oil in the Hispanic Supermarket.   You can also make your own.  It's pretty easy.

Annatto oil is even easier to make than chili oil, just two ingredients. Annatto seed and neutral oil. Just heat annatto seed until the oil takes on a lovely red color, med heat 10 minutes. Latin markets should have annatto seed, and it is wildly available online and last a long time.
