Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, vegetable oil, sesame oil, lime juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to form a marinade.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  4. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions.
  6. Serve the Vietnamese Chinese Pork Chops with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
