Airfryer Series Ep. 1: Vietnamese Pork Chops
Juicy, caramelized pork chops marinated in a fragrant blend of lemongrass, garlic, and fish sauce — a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and citrusy flavors.
Ingredients
* 2 lbs pork chops or pork shoulder steaks
Marinade:
* 6 cloves garlic, minced
* Zest and juice of 1 lime
* 4–5 Tbsp brown sugar
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 4 Tbsp fish sauce
* 1 Tbsp soy sauce
* 3 Tbsp neutral oil
* 5 Tbsp grated lemongrass

Instructions
1. Make the Marinade
 * In a bowl, combine garlic, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, baking soda, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil, and lemongrass. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
2. Prepare the Pork
 * Score the pork chops diagonally on both sides to help the marinade penetrate deeper.
3. Marinate
 * Coat the pork chops thoroughly with the marinade — no bald spots!
 * Cover and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
4. Cook
 * Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
 * Optional Broil: For a deeper char and caramelization, broil for a minute or two until the edges are slightly crisp and golden.
5. Serve
 * Enjoy with steamed jasmine rice and a side of Nước Mắm Chấm (Vietnamese dipping sauce).

✨ Chef’s Tip: The baking soda tenderizes the pork, while the lemongrass and lime bring a fresh, aromatic punch. Don’t skip the overnight marination — that’s where the magic happens.
