Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (check using a meat thermometer). Avoid overcooking to keep the pork chops juicy.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a simple salad.
