The original Vietnamese grilled pork lemongrass!This recipe focuses on the marinade of the pork, as it can also be eaten as other dishes. Bánh mì, rice, spring rolls, rice rolls, salad bowls, ect. This is my favorite version of grilled pork. You can also use this marinade with pork chops, chicken, beef…

Steps

1 hr 15 minutes

1

Pork preparation: wash your pork with salt and vinegar to get rid of any pork slime and odor. Pat dry, & slice thinly. You can also buy it pre sliced by your local butcher.
2

Minced your lemongrass, garlic, shallot, and chili in blender. Smash and chopped your lemongrass first before adding to blender for a finer mince.
3

Marinate your pork with all ingredients listed in the “pork marinade” section, EXCEPT for annatto seed oil. Marinade in annatto seed oil AFTER all mixing pork with other ingredients.
4

Cover and marinade for at least 3 hours Or overnight in the fridge.
5

Air fry at 390F for 20-25 minutes depending on thickness of your pork. Rotate meat for even cooking. You can also pan fry or grilled. Charcoal grill is best!

Tips

Marinating the pork is the easiest part! The time consuming part is the preparation of condiments that goes on top. Green onion oil, crush toasted peanuts, fried shallots, fish sauce dipping, noodles, & veggies. If you have the option of buying those premade, it’s a lot easier and more convenient!
