If you like the fragrance of lemongrass, you will like pan-fried pork chops with lemongrass. The meat is tender and tasty and the lemongrass sauce is fragrant and delicious. Use a cast iron pan for the frying to produce that grilled flavour.
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
- Use a meat tenderiser to hammer the pork chops.
