Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork Chops

1: Flatten your pork chop with a mallet being careful to avoid the bone. Then cut slits onto the side with the fat to avoid it from curling when you cook.

2: Clean your pork as you normally would. Soak pork in water and salt for 10 minutes, then rinse and drain under cold water.

3: Marinate your pork chops with minced garlic, minced lemongrass, fish sauce, honey, oil and black pepper. Marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.

4: After marinating, cook the pork using your desired method: stovetop, oven, or air fryer.

5: To cook on the stovetop: Heat some oil and cook on the skillet for 4-6 minutes on each side depending on thickness of pork chops (medium heat).

6: To bake in the oven: Preheat to 375°F and bake for 15 minutes on each side.

7: To cook in an air fryer: Set to 375°F for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

8: Serve with rice, vegetables, and fish sauce dip.

9: For the fish sauce dip: Mix fish sauce, sugar, coconut soda, white vinegar, and minced garlic until sugar dissolves.
