Spice up your Grilled Pork in Vietnamese style

Vietnamese Grilled Pork is no different to cook than any other recipe for grilled pork except for the marinade.

The sauces, spices and marinades are what makes Vietnamese cooking different from all others. The marinades for Vietnamese grills may be simple, but your guests will find them exotically different.

These recipes for Vietnamese style pork on the barbecue include pork sirloin, diced and skewered, and pork chops in a spicy marinade.

Marinate the Pork

Preferably overnight

First of all, marinate your pork in a bowl, pan or plastic ziplock bag.

Place the pork inside your choice of container and pour enough of the marinade in to cover the meat. (Remember, if you're using a plastic bag, to put the bag itself into a large bowl in case of any leaks).

Put it all in the frig for the next day.

If you have a piece of pork that you want to slice up, put it in the freezer until it firms up slightly, about 45 minutes. It makes it easier to slice.
