Costeletas de porco tailandesas

Ingredientes

• 400 g pork chops
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 g black peppercorns
• 1 coriander root
• 15 ml oyster sauce
• 7 ml golden mountain sauce
• 30 ml coconut milk
• 30 ml tamarind paste
• 22 g palm sugar
• 60 ml water
• 8 ml fish sauce
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 green onions (finely chopped, for garnishing)
• 1 tbsp culantro (finely chopped, for garnishing)
• Thai chili flakes (to taste)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Crush garlic, coriander root, and black peppercorns with a mortar and pestle.

2. 2

   Place the pork chops in a dish and score both sides with a fork.

3. 3

   Combine the crushed spices from step 1 with coconut milk, oyster sauce, and golden mountain sauce in a large bowl. Stir everything until well mixed.

4. 4

   Put the pork chops in the bowl with the marinade. Make sure they are fully coated. Then, let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.

5. 5

   In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste, palm sugar, water, and fish sauce. Heat it over low heat, stirring until the sauce thickens, which should take about 3–5 minutes.

6. 6

   Take the sauce off the heat and let it cool down. Once cooled, add finely chopped culantro and green onions to the sauce. If you like a bit of heat, you can also add some optional red pepper flakes.

7. 7

   Heat your grill on medium. Grill pork chops for about 5–7 minutes on each side, or until they’re browned and cooked through. Let them rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy with the sauce you made and a side of rice!
