Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, wasabi paste, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor).
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them into the hot skillet. Reserve the marinade for later.
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Brush the glaze over the cooked pork chops or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides like steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
