It has become a habit that when I go to Landers, I always get the ground meat and pork chops. Even if I really didn’t plan on any recipes to cook with it. So I ended up scrambling to find recipes to cook with them haha. This time, I found this good recipe which I adapted today: Vietnamese Pork Chops.
It took me quite awhile since I’ve chosen to marinade the pork chops overnight. I prefer to have a super flavorful dish so even if it’s okay to just marinade it at room temperature for 30 minutes, I still opted for the overnight one. And this ended up really good even after reheating the next day! So try it!
