Recipes Cuisine Asian Vietnamese/Chinese Pork Chops 4.3 (22) 17 Reviews 3 Photos My mom and I developed this recipe together. We call it Vietnamese/Chinese because the fish sauce is from Vietnamese cuisine and 5 spice powder from Chinese cuisine. It is our favorite marinade for pork chops. If you buy your pork chops from an Asian market, let them know what you're cooking. Generally, the thinner the chop, the better.
