I don’t know what it is, but I cannot get enough of limey, fish sauce dressings at the moment, and this Nam Jim Jaeow dipping sauce with toasted rice and chilli just felt like the best thing to serve up my Cote Du Pig with.

Place a dry frying pan over medium heat and add the jasmine rice. Toast, shaking occasionally, until it’s deep golden brown and fragrant — about 5–8 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the toasted rice to a mortar and pestle and grind to a coarse powder. Set aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix together the chilli, fish sauce, lime juice, tamarind paste, and brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.

1-2 Birdseye chilli

4 tbsp Fish sauce

2-3 Lime juice

Stir in the chopped shallot, spring onion, coriander, and the toasted rice powder. Taste and adjust for balance.

1/2 Shallot

1 Spring onion

1 handful Fresh coriander

Step 6

Heat a heavy frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of neutral oil. Once hot, place the pork chop in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side until well browned.
