Vietnamese marinade pork chops

helen might have one on her you tube channel. she is such an endearing, engaging cook/chef of vietnamese food and is well traveled and schooled and videos are quality productions. you can find her at helen's recipes (type into search line on you tube). i started watching her when she was just a young thing going to college in germany cooking in her student apartment with her herbs and greens in pots on her patio.

This is close to my mother’s recipe:

Actually it was not exactly a recipe. She would mix a little fish sauce with a few spoons of sugar, a few pinches of black pepper in a mortar with some mashed scallions. Then marinate the pork a few hours. Then pan fry or grill.

Use white wine vinegar and some lemon zest

I would recommend this one https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/grilled-pork-chops-with-sweet-lemongrass-marinade-51115010 That being said it does not solve your problem because ti calls for lemon grass and rice vinegar. You might try Andrea Nguyen's website https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/recipes There are a couple of recipes there, but I did not check the ingredient list.
