Rinse the pork chops and quickly blanch them in boiling water. In a bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon each of fish sauce, chili sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, five-spice powder, water, and black pepper until well combined. Pour a little of the marinade evenly over the pork. Finely chop the shallot and garlic, then add to the pork and marinate for 15 minutes. After marinating, remove the shallot and garlic and set aside. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.

Once the pork changes color, add the remaining marinade and braise over low heat until the sauce is reduced. If you're preparing cơm tấm, have the side dishes ready as mentioned in the previous post.

Serve with a small bowl of fish sauce, pickled vegetables, and scallions. Arrange everything on a plate with the braised pork chops for a delicious cơm tấm meal.
