Vietnamese-Style Pork Chops with Fresh Herb Salad

 A heavy-hitting marinade and an unexpected plum and herb salad transform pork rib chops into an irresistible summer meal.

Ingredients

4 SERVINGS

1

large shallot, chopped

3

garlic cloves, chopped

⅓

cup (packed) light brown sugar

¼

cup fish sauce

2

tablespoons dark or regular soy sauce

2

tablespoons vegetable oil

2

teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

4

¼–½-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops

Kosher salt

3

firm red plums, cut into ½-inch wedges

2

scallions, dark- and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced

1

Fresno chile, thinly sliced

2

cups torn mixed herb leaves (such as Thai or sweet basil, cilantro, and/or mint)

½

cup bean sprouts

2

tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

Lime wedges (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

Blend shallot, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil, and pepper in a blender. Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chop and turn to coat. Seal bag, pressing out air; chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

Step 2

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.) Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip back into bag; season both sides with salt. Grill pork chops, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 3

Meanwhile, toss plums, scallions, chile, herbs, bean sprouts, and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt; toss again.

Step 4

Serve pork with salad and lime wedges.
