Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 kg pork chops
• 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
• 1 heaped tablespoon of sugar
• 2 heaped tablespoons of freshly chopped or minced lemon grass (white stalk only) or ready made paste from supermarket
• 2 heaped tablespoons freshly chopped or minced Asian shallot or normal red onion (ready made paste can be substituted)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 carrot (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)
• 1 heaped teaspoon cooking wine (optional)

Method:

1. Grate or slice carrot thinly (optional), marinate with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar in a plastic container, and set aside.

2. Combine pork chops, with chopped/paste/minced with lemon grass, onion, fish sauce, wine, olive oil and sugar in a bowl and set aside at least 15 minutes (can be done in advance one day a head)

3. Light your BBQ briquettes. When ashed over, cook pork on grill until done to your liking.

Serve with steam rice or bread, chilli sauce or steak sauce and/or pickled carrot from step 1.

Variation: Use pork cubes instead of chops. After step 2, just skew the pork pieces alternately with firm ripe mango cube, red capsicum pieces or canned pineapple pieces.
