For 1Kg of meat

 

THE SHOPPING LIST

4 Lemongrass stem, white part only, smashed and roughly chopped  (80g)

 1  Large brown onion, roughly chopped

5 Cloves of garlic, minced

 1 tablespoon of ground chilli paste  (or 2 fresh chillies minced)

 ½ tablespoon of fish sauce 

½ tablespoon of Soy sauce

1 tablespoon of Oyster sauce

1 tablespoon of Sugar

1/2 tablespoon of Honey

 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1 teaspoon Sesame oil

 

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

 

As this is a marinade you want the end result to be more liquid and not like a paste, so I find this works better in a food processor, but if you’re a purist feel free to do it in a mortar and pestle.

 

Place the lemongrass in the food processor and wiz to it become quite fine and no large chunks are left. 

 Now add the Onion, Garlic.  Give it a few pulses and then wiz it to all the ingredients become a thick paste and are all incorporated.

 Now add the rest of the ingredients and wiz to all the ingredients are well combined and the pastes starts to becomes a thick liquid. 

Now its ready to marinate your favourite cut of pork with.

  YOUR DONE  HOW EASY WAS THAT!!

Note.

I find that for best results marinate your pork for at least 4 hours but overnight is best.
