Pan-Seared Sesame Lemongrass Pork Skewers
Pan-seared sesame lemongrass pork skewers; sweet & savoury, with caramelized bits of lemongrass, garlic and shallots and a subtle roasted aroma from the ground sesame seeds. Pairs, perfectly with a bowl of rice or vermicelli noodles and served with an abundance of fresh greens, herbs and a drizzle of Vietnamese nuoc cham (optional).
I also have a few more variations of this recipe that I will share in the future! But for now, enjoy this simple and easy method.
