How to Make Lemongrass Pork Chops

  1. In a small bowl, mash 2 cloves of garlic with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Add 2 stalks of thinly sliced lemongrass, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Place 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 6 hours).
  4. Remove chops from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Discard marinade. Pat chops dry with paper towels. Allow to come to room temperature.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F, using a meat thermometer. Adjust cooking time depending on thickness of chops.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
