Step 1
Mix lemongrass, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Pat pork chops dry. Coat both sides generously with the marinade.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear pork chops 4-5 minutes per side without moving—they should char deeply and feel firm when pressed.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate and rest 3 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and pickled vegetables.
