This Vietnamese lemongrass pork is a pretty common Vietnamese dish and it's packed with the flavors you might expect of the region. Lemongrass, fish sauce and garlic all pack in tons of flavor and get right into the pork as it marinades.
The only less common ingredients may be fish sauce and lemongrass, which is available in most of the Asian grocery shops. Vietnamese pork chops are different from others because they are marinated with a set of unique ingredients- soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, honey, shallot, scallions, black pepper and last but not least, minced lemongrass.
Here’s how I air fry my Vietnamese lemongrass pork chops: Take the pork chops out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 – 45 minutes to remove the chill. Pre-heat the air fryer to 200°C / 400°F. Spray the rack with oil then place the pork chops on the rack. Spray the top of the pork chops with some oil.
Instructions Cut the pork into chunks, approx 1in/2.5cm by 2in/5cm. Mix together the remaining ingredients - if you are not using pre-prepared lemongrass I'd suggest blending it all together, otherwise fine to just mix well. Add the pork to the sauce and leave to marinade for at least 2 hours, but all day/overnight if possible, refrigerated.
