Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pork loin
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots or 1 tablespoon onion
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and finely chopped (3 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (black)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon oil (I prefer sesame oil)

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!
