In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger to create the marinade for the pork chops.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the hoisin marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
While the pork chops are marinating, prepare the pineapple relish. In a medium-sized bowl, combine diced pineapple, sliced green onions, red chili flakes, lime juice, and olive oil. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use. Sear the pork chops in the skillet or grill pan for 4-5 minutes per side or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Reduce the heat to medium, brush the reserved marinade over the pork chops, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the chops tender and juicy.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes, lightly covered with foil.
Serve the pork chops topped with the pineapple green onion relish. Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
