Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork chops are evenly coated. Seal the bag (if using) and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
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 reserve the marinade for later use.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium, and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet.
Cover the skillet and let the pork chops cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), flipping once halfway through.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
