Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lemongrass
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds thin boneless pork chops
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated carrot
1 teaspoon Asian chile sauce, such as sambal oelek
1 clove garlic, minced
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated
1/2 bunch mint
1/2 bunch basil
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 red jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup prepared fried shallots, scallions or onions
1 bag Asian shrimp chips

Steps:

Prepare the pork: Mash the garlic into a paste with the flat side of a knife. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the lemongrass, shallots, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Make the sauce: Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Stir in the carrot, chile sauce and garlic.
Preheat a grill to high. Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill until well marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then cut into strips. Arrange the pork and lettuce on a platter; set out the herbs, cucumber, jalapeno and fried shallots for fixings. Assemble the lettuce wraps and serve with the carrot sauce and shrimp chips.
