Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 5 oz

    boneless pork loin chops

  • 3 Tbs Fish Sauce
  • 3 Garlic cloves, finely grated

  1. STEP 1
    Cover pork chops with baking paper or cling film and use a rolling pin or saucepan to pound to an even 1.5cm thickness.
  2. STEP 2
    For the pork marinade, whisk together the fish sauce, garlic, sugar, turmeric and pepper.  Pour mixture over the pork and marinate for 10 minutes.​

    To make the nuoc cham dressing, combine the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, lime juice and 1/4 cup of water in a jar and shake until the sugar dissolves. This can be stored in the fridge to use for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, pour out a small bowlful of the dressing and add the chilli and garlic.
  4. STEP 4
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook pork for 3-4 minutes each side until just cooked through.  Remove from heat to rest for 2 minutes.
  5. STEP 5
    Serve pork with rice, egg, tomatoes and cucumber.  Top the whole lot with generous spoonfuls of dressing.
