Delicious Vietnamese Caramelized Pork
Ingredients
- 6 (1/4 inch thick) boneless pork chops
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Pound chops with the flat side of a meat pounder until they're 1/8 inch thick. Make some slits around the edges to prevent curling.
Cook sugar in a saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed until it starts to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until sugar is melted into a golden caramel. Add shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, and salt (caramel will harden) and cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is dissolved and shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over pork and toss until well coated.
Heat a lightly oiled pan over moderately high heat, then grill pork in batches, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side.
