In reply to Nerissa. I did try to use chicken before and it is equally good.

This was really good even with substitution of lemon zest for lemongrass. I know it’s not even close but that’s all I had access to. Marinated for 4 hours, used only 1 kind of soy sauce, pan fried and no dipping sauce. Whenever we have vietnamese food, we tend not to use the sauce on the side. That’s why I didn’t bother to make it. Pork was juicy, tender and yummy flavor. Thank you for sharing this delicious dish. Do you think this same marinade will work for chicken or beef?

This is a wonderful recipe. I’ve made it once before and I will try a second time. I especially like the sauce!

Hi Luisa,
You can pan-fry instead of grilling the pork chops.

hi! I want to try your recipe. I’m just wondering if you could pan fry this pork chop?

I’m glad I stumbled onto your website for the first time today while looking for a grilled pork chop recipe. First of all, with a few minor tweaks, your recipe was a big hit with the family tonight. And I appreciate the little hacks along the way; the back of the cleaver as a meat mallet – brilliant! I didn’t have dark soy sauce and used molasses as a sub. This is a solid Vietnamese lemongrass pork chop recipe that people can make a few modifications to fit their own taste (I added extra 1 Tbsp of lemongrass and cut down on the sugar). Thank you for sharing!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for trying and please adjust the saltiness accordingly. The video is edited and cut to shorten it, so it will miss out on something for sure.
Thanks.

Very flavorful pork chops but in your video for marinade you put one tablespoon fish sauce whereas your recipe states two tablespoons. Have tried the recipe, love it but will reduce the fish sauce to one tablespoon as it’s slightly salty. I pan fry instead of pan grill, works well too. Thanks so much.
