Saigon Lamb Chop Marinade

Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes fan, Victoria Tran, shares her Saigon Lamb Chop Marinade recipe.

Sent in by Victoria Tran

My family has cooked this recipe for many years. The thinly sliced lamb chops normally available from any good Vietnamese butcher work best. The marinade mix below is sufficient for 1kg of lamb.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 bottle of premium oyster sauce (Lee Kum Kee is recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons of oil (preferably olive oil)
  • 3 tablespoons of finely chopped lemongrass
  • 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped ginger
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together and marinate the lamb on one side only, placing each chop on top of each other in a covered container/bowl. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Prepare the barbie with Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes for medium heat. Place the chops on the barbie, cooking each side once. Given the full flavour of the chops, there is minimal need for any sauces or condiments.

For a spicier variation of this recipe, feel free to add in some coarsely ground black pepper.
