Ingredients

• 2 pork chops

• 1/2 tbsp Fish sauce

• 1 tbsp Soya sauce

• 1 stalk Lemongrass

• 1 Garlic

• 1 tbsp Ginger

• 1 tbsp Oil

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Method

1. Use a meat tenderiser to hammer the pork chops.

2. Prepare marinade:

   • Chop garlic, ginger & lemongrass till fine.

   • Add soya sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar & oil. Mix well.

   • Rub marinade into the pork chops.

   • Cover & marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Scrape the marinade from the pork chops before pan frying. This will avoid burning the chops before they are cooked. Set aside the marinade.

4. Use a cast iron pan for pan frying - this will produce the best results. Heat 1 tbsp of oil.

5. Add pork chops and fry till golden before flipping to the other side.

6. Fry till cooked (total time around 8-10 mins). Remove fried pork chops to a serving plate.

7. Add the reserved marinade and fry till fragrant. Add a little water and simmer till thickened.

8. Pour sauce over pork chops. Yum!
