Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey (for peach sauce)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
While the pork chops are marinating, prepare the peach sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, water, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the peach sauce and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them in the skillet.
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Spoon the peach sauce over the pork chops and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with your choice of rice or steamed vegetables.
