If you want to eat, you have to get in the kitchen, right? 🤣🤣 This dish is delicious, but making it can be a bit of work. I just used what I had at home and followed my own method, but the results were great. My family enjoyed it, and that's what matters most. Hope everyone has success making this dish! 🥰

Steps

1

Rinse the pork chops. Finely mince 4 shallots, 5 garlic cloves, and 1 piece of ginger, then mix with the pork. Season with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder, and plenty of black pepper. Add a little cooking oil to keep the meat from drying out. (Adjust seasonings based on the amount of meat; I used 4 pork chops.) Marinate for 30 minutes.
2

Start grilling the meat. You can use an air fryer or a charcoal grill.
3

To make the fish sauce: Mix 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 tablespoon MSG (optional; skip if your family doesn't use it), and 1/2 tablespoon lime juice or vinegar (adjust to your preferred sourness). Stir until dissolved, then add minced garlic and chili.
4

To make scallion oil: Heat a pan and add oil until hot. Season a bowl of chopped scallions with a little chicken bouillon powder and a pinch of salt, then pour the hot oil over the scallions.
5

Arrange everything on a plate and enjoy.
