1 large shallot, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons dark or regular soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 (1/4-1/2-inch-thick) bone-in pork rib chops
Kosher salt
3 firm red plums, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 scallions, dark- and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced
2 cups torn mixed herb leaves (such as Thai or sweet basil, cilantro, and/or mint)
1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
Lime wedges (for serving)

1
Blend shallot, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil, and pepper in a blender. Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chop and turn to coat. Seal bag, pressing out air; chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
2
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.) Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip back into bag; season both sides with salt. Grill pork chops, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
3
Meanwhile, toss plums, scallions, chile, herbs, bean sprouts, and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt; toss again.
4
Serve pork with salad and lime wedges.
