Vietnamese lemongrass pork chop 惹人垂涎的美味

離開香港多年，有時候會想起屋企附近的越南餐廳，他們的香茅豬扒又鬆軟又多汁，
還有那撲鼻而來的香茅味，總是令人回味。

幸好，在蘇格蘭也能買到又便宜又美味的豬扒，一般超市也有新鮮香茅，
所以隨時都可以緬懷一番。做法沒有想像中困難，只需要一點時間去醃製，
如果能醃過夜，味道會更鬆軟入味。

After leaving Hong Kong for many years, I sometimes think of the little Vietnamese restaurant near my old home —
their lemongrass pork chops were always so tender, juicy, and full of that fragrant lemongrass aroma.

Luckily, here in Scotland, it’s easy to find affordable, tasty pork chops and fresh lemongrass at any supermarket.
So I can always recreate that comforting taste whenever I miss it.
This recipe is much easier than you’d expect — all it takes is a bit of time to marinate,
and if you leave it overnight, the pork turns out extra tender and flavourful.

FAQ 常見問題

如何令豬扒鬆軟？
How do I make the pork chops tender?

在處理豬扒時，可以先切斷邊位的筋膜，再用鬆肉針或刀背輕輕拍鬆肉質。
醃製時加入所有調味料後，慢慢注入少量水份，讓肉質吸收水份後，最後加入生粉鎖住水份，豬扒就會更鬆軟多汁。
Before cooking, trim any tough edges or membrane around the pork chops.
Use a meat tenderizer or the back of a knife to gently pound the meat.
When marinating, add all the seasonings first, then gradually add a little water —
this helps the pork absorb extra moisture. Finally, add a bit of cornstarch to seal in the juices,
making the pork extra tender and juicy.

香茅怎樣挑選及如何出味？
How do I choose lemongrass and get the best flavour?

-選購香茅時，可留意根部是否有白色粉末，代表是 Young Lemongrass，水份較多、味道更香。
-只用底下較白的根部部分，使用前要先拍鬆，讓香氣釋放。
-製作醃料時，可用攪拌機加少許暖水打碎，能更容易釋出香茅的味道。
When buying lemongrass, look for stalks with a white powdery coating near the base —this means they’re young and juicy with better flavour.
Use only the lower, pale part of the stalk, and bruise it well with the back of a knife to help release the aroma.
For marinades, blend the chopped lemongrass with a splash of warm waterto fully bring out its fragrance.
