My Vietnamese Pork Chops

I found these thin pork chops on clearance at the grocery store.  We enjoy the thin pork chops from the Vietnamese restaurants, so I looked at a few recipes on youtube.  Here is the recipe I ended up with and it was a success, I will be doing these again.

 12 thin pork chops

3 cloves garlic minced

zest of one lemon (or lemongrass if you have it)

3 or 4 green onions chopped

1/2 tsp white pepper

2 tbs light soy sauce

2 tbs fish sauce

1 tbs white sugar

2 tbs honey

3 tbs canola oil

Tenderize the chops on both sides with a meat hammer, next time I will put the chops in a ziploc to contain the mess and have an easier cleanup.  Marinate the chops with all the ingredients for a couple of hours at least.  I may have waited only an hour.  Heat the oil in a saute pan.  Cook each chop for 1 and a half mins per side.  The first batch may take a bit longer as the pan heats up fully, but then they start to get nice and brown with subsequent batches.
