Grilled Lemongrass Pork
This is based on the lemongrass pork chop recipe in Charles Phan’s Vietnamese Home Cooking. I haven’t tried it with bone-in chops but it is amazing with pork shoulder. The fat really crisps up well and it acquires an amazing glaze from the sugar. Good with a salad, in banh…

Thit Nuong – Vietnamese Grilled Pork
I followed this recipe. I used boneless country ribs (aka pork butt), sliced to about 1/4″. I also haven’t yet found a “meat cage” the right size (might have to make one), so just laid them on the grill. I also cannot for the life of me mince lemongrass properly;…

Pork, cabbage, and dumpling soup
I basically followed this recipe. I’d never made dumplings before, and it was fun and easy. Unfortunately, I used the wrong kind of cabbage and the soup tasted a little too cabbagey — next time, no red cabbage. Also, with 5 dried red chilies, it was a little too hot…

These meatballs came from a Bon Appetit recipe for meatball banh mi. We’ve made the banh mi, but also had them in soup and other dishes, not to mention snacking on them straight out of the fridge. We originally made them with pork, but they were just as good with…

Vietnamese Rice and Grilled Pork Soup
This recipe arose out of leftover pho and kalbi. Rather than make the usual pho with rice noodles and thin-sliced beef, we used rice and kalbi along with the usual ingredients. The result was very good — the grilled pork adds a nice depth to the flavor, and using leftover…

Kalbi with Pork Country Ribs
I wanted to try making kalbi, but with something a little less fatty than short ribs. I started with this recipe and decided to try it with boneless pork country ribs. Other than that, I left the recipe alone. They came out pretty good. The country ribs are a lot…

Carnitas
This recipe was adapted from the one in David Lebovitz’s The Sweet Life in Paris (this version is similar) for pressure cooker. The book is not explicit about braising with the lid off, like the online version is, and so I assumed it was lid on and would translate easily…
