  • In Vietnam, red meat isn't the main event — fish, seafood, and poultry are preferred. But that doesn't mean there aren't delicious meat dishes too, including this one made with pork. This recipe includes the side dish as well. Boil the rice in salted water. Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into medium slices. In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped garlic, canola oil, fish sauce, lemon juice, and ginger. Put the chops in a zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and let them marinate for about 1 hour. Fry the pork in an oiled skillet until golden and crusty. Plate the meat alongside the cooked rice and a simple salad of onion, cucumber, and tomato. Garnish with fresh herbs if you like. These Vietnamese-style chops take very little time to make, yet they'll be a memorable, original centerpiece for your table. Enjoy!
