Asian Lemon Grass Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pork into pieces, you can leave it in steak sizes piece, or cut it into thin strips, depending on how much you want the marinade to cover.
• Add sugar, minced garlic, minced shallot, chopped onion, and minced lemongrass to mini chop and blend into a fine texture.
• Add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil and continue to blend.
• Cover the pork with the marinade. I suggest letting it marinate for at least a few hours so it can really soak in the flavors.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through. You want a good char on this, like they do at the Vietnamese restaurants.
• Remove, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash garlic with sugar and pepper.
• Add the sliced lemongrass, fish sauce, sesame oil, and wine, mixing thoroughly.
• Place chops in marinade and refrigerate for 3-6 hours.
• Remove chops from refrigerator, discard marinade, pat chops dry, and bring up to room temp before cooking.
• Prepare grill, if using.
• Grill or broil 5-7 minutes per side, or until done to your liking.
• Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Slice pork thinly into 2 inch long strips and place into bowl.
• Combine lemon grass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil in food processor; add water as needed to achieve smooth texture.
• Pour mixture over meat. Set aside for 30 minutes to an hour. Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread pork onto skewers and leave 2 inches on each end.
• Grill or broil 1-2 minutes per side.
