Vietnamese Style Marinated & Grilled Pork Chop - Easy, Flavorful & Healthy Dinner!
If you're looking for an easy and super flavorful dinner recipe this definitely fits the bill. Use a nice fatty piece of pork for this and try to get a nice char. The combination of crispy and smoky pork fat that has been marinated is so good.
Recipe is super easy to remember - 3 Tablespoons of everything except aromatics.
3 Tablespoons Soy sauce ( I like silver swan)
3 Tablespoons Fish sauce ( I love Red Boat)
3 Tablespoons Grapeseed oil (Any neutral oil will do)
3 Tablespoons Brown sugar (Any sugar or sweetener will work, Brown is best)
5 Garlic cloves minced
1 Shallot minced
1 Small piece of lemongrass minced
1/2 Lime or Lemon juiced
1-3lbs Pork chops thin cut with bone and fat
Marinade for 3-24 hours for thin cut pork chops. If you go longer than 24 hours it may get a little too salty. If using a double cut or thick cut pork chop I would suggest keeping them in marinade for at least 24 hours.
Shaking Beef Recipe (Bo Luc Lac) | Vietnamese Recipes
Beef lovers, this one's for you! Intensely beefy and full of flavour, this dish looks super premium but it is so easy and quick to put together that you can easily have this on a weeknight! A classic Vietnamese dish that really highlights the flavour and texture of beef, so make sure you use a cut that is flavourful and tender. Rule of thumb for choosing the right cut for this is to choose whatever cut you like to have as a steak. Essentially, these are little steak cubes!
I'm using tomatoes to provide some colour and acidity, but you can do red or orange bell pepper as well. If you prefer the vegetables more cooked, cook the vegetables first, remove, and then add it back in when the steak it done.
Enjoy!!

The Only Steak Marinade You Need - Thai Crying Tiger Recipe
The classic Thai marinade for grilled steaks is really the only marinade recipe you need, and in the video I will explain why! I also share with you THE ultimate steak dipping sauce that no Thai person can ever go without: nam jim jaew. If you don't eat beef, both the marinade and the sauce can also work for any other grilled meats like chicken, pork, or lamb.
I did not mention in the video, but on the blog post (linked below) I share more about the common Thai dish name Crying Tiger which this kind of is.

CHEAPER (and better) THAN TAKEOUT - Beef Lo Mein Recipe (牛肉捞面)
???? BROWSE KITCHENWARE AND INGREIDENTS -
❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL -
???? PRINTABLE RECIPE -
I have made an oyster sauce Lo Mein not so long ago. Even though it was a basic flavor, I got so many compliments. Everybody loves it. Today, we gonna upgrade it into a beef Lo Mein recipe. It is also easy and tasty. The beef is so tender and velvety. The noodles are flavorful. It got lots of umami taste from the oyster sauce. You can also use chicken, pork, shrimp instead of beef and create your own variations of lo mein.
INGREDIENTS (serves 2)
- 2 portions of noodles (I used fresh egg noodles, about 300 g / 10.6 oz)
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce (Amazon Link -
- 3 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
- 1.5 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon link -
- 3 tbsp of peanut oil (Amazon Link -
- 300 grams (10.6 oz) of beef
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1/8 tsp of baking soda
- 2 tbsp of cooking wine (Amazon Link -
- 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
- 1/2 tbsp of cornstarch
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 medium-size onion, sliced thinly
- 3 pieces of scallion, cut into 2 inches long pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice 300 grams of beef into 1/8 of inches thick pieces. You can use beef chuck, flank, ribeye, sirloin steak.
- Marinade it with 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/8 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine, 1/2 tbsp of cornstarch, some freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well and let it sit for 20 minutes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook 2 portions of fresh egg noodles for 2-3 minutes. If you are using a different type of noodles, you have to follow the cooking instruction on the package.
- While waiting for the noodles, you should have enough time to cook the beef.
- I got many people asking me - why is my food sticking to my carbon steel wok? Well, you need to learn how to control the wok heat correctly.
- First, turn the heat to maximum and heat the wok until it is smoking hot. Then add some oil. Be generous with oil amount for this recipe because you want enough oil to coat the noodles so they don’t stick together while serving.
- Give it a toss so the oil will create a slight non-stick surface on the bottom. Wait for the oil to be smoking again. That means the wok is hot enough for you to add the marinade beef. Stir and cook. This way, the meat will not stick to the wok at all. That is how you control the wok heat correctly. We call it 掌握火候in Chinese.
- When the beef is halfway cooked, you should still be able to see some pink color here and there. Add a bunch of sliced onion. Stir for another 15 seconds.
- By now, the noodles should be ready. Quickly take them out. Shake off the excess water. Throw a bunch of scallion into the wok along with the cooked noodles. Turn off the heat. It is important, I will explain why later.
- Add 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 3 tbsp of oyster sauce, and 1.5 tsp of dark soy sauce. I will suggest you use a better quality oyster sauce since it is the key flavor. Mix until the seasoning is well combined.
- I turned off the heat right before I add the noodles is because we are making Lo Mein, all you need to do is to stir and mix. If you keep the heat on, then, you are making Chao Mein, which means stir fry noodles. That’s the difference between lo mein and Chao Mein.
- Give it a taste to adjust the flavor before serving because every brand of oyster sauce and soy sauce have a different level of sodium. You can add some toasted sesame oil at the end if you like. I don’t because I used peanut oil when cooking the beef.
- That’s it. You are done. Enjoy!

BETTER THAN TAKEOUT – Sesame Chicken Recipe
???? BROWSE KITCHENWARE AND INGREIDENTS -
❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL -
???? PRINTABLE RECIPE -
To be honest, the first time I ate this I was thinking, no, Chinese people do not eat sesame chicken. And now, I make it every week. Seriously, who can say no to these crunchy nutty little bites of chicken? And this recipe could be the best sesame chicken you ever had.
???? RECIPE - Note: Here I want to correct a mistake in the video. At 03:16 I said to heat up the oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It was an audio mistake, please keep the oil temperature at 380 degrees Fahrenheit while frying. I am really sorry about that. The video is already uploaded, I can't edit it anymore.
Ingredients to marinate the chicken (Serve 2-3 people with some white rice)
- 1 lb chicken thigh, cut into 1.5 inches cubes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- black pepper to taste
- 1.5 tsp of soy sauce [Amazon Link:
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 3/8 tsp of baking soda
- 1 egg white
- 0.5 tbsp of starch (add it to the marinade)
- 1 cup of Potato starch (use it to coat the chicken)
- 2 cups of oil to fry the chicken
Ingredients for the sauce
- 2 tbsp of Honey
- 3 tbsp of brown sugar
- 2.5 tbsp of Soy sauce [Amazon Link:
- 3 tbsp of water
- 2.5 tbsp of ketchup
- 1 tbsp of vinegar
- Sweet potato starch water to thicken the sauce (2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water) (Amazon Link:
- 1 tbsp of sesame oil [Amazon Link:
- 1.5 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds [Amazon Link:
- Diced scallion as a garnish
INSTRUCTION
Cut some boneless and skin on chicken leg into 1-inch size pieces. You can use chicken breast if you wish to.
Marinate the chicken with 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1.5 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper to taste, 3/8 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of starch. Cornstarch, potato or sweet potato starch, they all work, depends on what you used for the coating later. Mix everything until well combined. Cover it and let it sit for 40 minutes.
Add half of the starch into a big container. Spread it out. Add in the chicken. Cover the meat with the other half of the starch. Put on the lid and shake for a few minutes or until the chicken is coated nicely
Heat up the oil to 380 F. Add the chicken piece by piece. In less than 2 minutes, you can feel that the surface is getting crispy and the color is slightly yellow. Take them out. Then we gonna do the second batch. Before that, you might want to fish out all those small little bits. It is optional but it does affect the quality of the oil.
Keep the temperature at 380 F, and fry the second batch of the chicken. Once you are done, let all the chicken rest for about 15 minutes and we gonna double fry the chicken. Double frying will stabilize the crunchiness so it last longer. At the end we will coat the chicken with some glossy sauce If you don’t double fry it, the chicken might not be crispy while serving. You just keep an eye on the color. In about 2 or 3 minutes, it will reach that beautiful golden color. Take them out and set it aside.
Next, we gonna make the sauce. In a large bowl, add in 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of liquid honey, 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of vinegar. Mix them until well combined.
Put your wok on the stove and pour all the sauce in. There is some sugar sink in the bottom of the bowl, make sure you clean that. Keep stirring the sauce on medium heat. Bring it to a boil and pour in some potato starch water to thicken the sauce. This just 2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water. Keep stirring until it reaches a thin syrup texture. Introduce the chicken back into the wok, along with a drizzle of sesame oil and 1.5 tbsp of a toasted sesame seed. Toss everything until the chicken is coated nicely. Take them out. Garnish it with some diced scallion and you are done.
