Charred Thin Asian Pork Chops Recipes

CHARRED THIN ASIAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place pepper flakes in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes to rehydrate.
• Combine all the marinade ingredients except the pepper flakes and scallions in a blender. Blend until well combined. Stir in the scallions, pepper flakes and soaking water.
• Place chops in an extra-large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over chops, squeeze out any excess air from bag and close. Roll the bag to evenly coat all the meat. Refrigerate at least 12 hours or up to 24.
• Preheat grates of a well-oil charcoal or gas grill to medium-high. Remove the chops from the marinade, letting any excess marinade remain in the bag, Lightly pat dry with paper towels. Reserve 1 cup marinade for glazing the chops. Place the reserved 1 cup marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Using a brush, coat chops with canola oil.
• Place chops on grill in batches, keeping the lid open, turning frequently during the cooking time and brushing with the remaining marinade. Cook until chops are completely glazed and well marked with char, about 10 minutes.
• Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve chops immediately, family style, with bean threads, cilantro, bell peppers and chile paste placed upon lettuce leaves.

VIETNAMESE GLAZED SKINNY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Note - The ingredients above are directly from the recipe; however, I didn't use the shallots when I made mine. I didn't have any. I also didn't use the peanuts b/c I forgot. But honestly, I don't think you need them. Nor did I add the salt b/c fish sauce is pretty salty tasting.
• Combine vegetable oil with honey, fish sauce, garlic, shallots and pepper. Add the pork chops, coat thoroughly in marinade and refrigerate over night or place in freezer bag and freeze. (Mine marinaded more than one night once thawed - turned out great!).
• Lightly season pork chops with salt (I did not do this step). Brush grill with oil (I used indoor grill pan). IMPORTANT - cook the pork over a very HIGH heat until nicely charred and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Scatter the peanuts on top and serve right away. (However, I have refrigerated these and reheated the next night in microwave on 50% power and they turned out fine.).
