How to Make Delicious “Grilled Pork Chop STEAM RICE PLATES”
Grilled pork chop steam rice plates are a delightful Vietnamese dish that balances savory grilled pork with fragrant rice and fresh vegetables. Here’s how to create this mouthwatering meal:
Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops, preferably bone-in
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Cooked jasmine rice
- Lettuce, cucumber, and tomato for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Pork:
- In a bowl, mix minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, and black pepper.
- Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork chops are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- Grill the Pork:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting excess drip off.
- Grill the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
- Prepare the Rice:
- While the pork chops are grilling, reheat or prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
- Assemble the Steam Rice Plates:
- Arrange a generous scoop of jasmine rice on one side of each plate.
- Place a grilled pork chop on top of the rice.
- Serve with a side of fresh lettuce, cucumber slices, and tomato wedges.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish with a wedge of lime and a sprig of cilantro for extra flavor and freshness.
- Optionally, serve with nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce) on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider brushing some of the leftover marinade onto the pork chops during grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the pork chops in a grill pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
