Our tested Grilled Pork Side: fresh, generous, and balanced with fish sauce and lime. Serves 4 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the fish sauce and lime elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the pork. Grill over a medium-high heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked through.
Stir in the lemongrass and the rest of the fish sauce and lime flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
