Vietnamese Grilled Pork Chops

2/19/17

Super easy and very tasty. This is a great weeknight main dish!

You guys…I have two things to share today. First is savory donuts. You must be familiar with sweet donuts like Nutella, strawberry, tres leches, or any kind of donuts to satisfy your sweet tooth. Ice cream donuts? Don’t know about you but I don’t think I’d ever want to try that or let my kid have an ice cream donut.

Well, just the other day, I spotted an article about savory donuts like foie gras donuts, mac-n-cheese donuts, grilled cheese donuts, or avocado donuts. Now that’s the kind of donut I will gladly finish. Savory donuts are a game changer and I just can’t stop thinking about them.

But today is not about donuts, not even close. It’s about something better because my #SundaySupper family is having pork chops tonight. I must say we rarely have pork chops…like a rare occasion. I think this may also be my first recipe on the blog featuring pork chops. When I eat out at a Vietnamese restaurant, I order one of the same four things most of the time – pho, banh mi, soupless noodle, or pork chops over rice. I am self-taught in Vietnamese cooking and only know basic ingredients to make Vietnamese food. Thankfully, I am quite familiar with Asian cuisines so it’s in my comfort zone and I always pay attention when eating in Vietnamese restaurants to get an idea about taste and presentation. So you can say I have a big love affair with Vietnamese pork chops.

I am using a basic rub recipe and fresh herbs to make these pork chops. The bone also helps add great flavor while making the chop a little more rustic. I grilled them on an electric, table-top grill to create a wonderful char and caramelization. Once I heard that first sizzle, I was counting the minutes until I could devour them. A few minutes on each side, a short rest and then they were on my plate. I was afraid the chops would be charred on the outside and undercooked inside so I cut a couple in half. As it turned out, the thick chops were better. They were nice and juicy.
