Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cups low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons sesame oil
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 stalks scallions (optional, for garnishing)
- 1 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops into the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and water until well combined.
Pour the teriyaki mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them carefully from the crock pot and set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the teriyaki sauce remaining in the crock pot, stirring well. Turn the crock pot to high heat and allow the sauce to thicken for about 10 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, return the pork chops to the crock pot and gently coat them with the thickened sauce.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with chopped scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
