Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder 450g, or use other boneless cut, boneless
- 2 tablespoon lemongrass minced (I used pre-prepared)
- 2 tablespoon onion finely diced (1 small shallot, or shallot
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar 20g
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, (2-3 cloves)
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the pork into chunks, approx 1in/2.5cm by 2in/5cm.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients - if you are not using pre-prepared lemongrass I'd suggest blending it all together, otherwise fine to just mix well. Add the pork to the sauce and leave to marinade for at least 2 hours, but all day/overnight if possible, refrigerated.
- Take the pork our of the fridge approx 20min before cooking while the grill heats ups. Grill the pork chunks on the grill/BBQ for approx 5min per side, depending on heat/size of pieces. You want the pork cooked through but not too cooked so it dries out.
- Serve with rice or noodles, maybe some quick picked carrots and daikon radish and salad (or as you prefer).
