Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to 'Sauté' mode. Add a bit of oil to the pot and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Deglaze the Instant Pot by pouring in the chicken broth and scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits.
Place the pork chops back into the Instant Pot and pour the sauce mixture over them.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing'. Set to 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' mode on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Once the cooking cycle completes, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
Remove the pork chops and set them on a plate, covering them with foil to keep them warm.
Turn the Instant Pot back to 'Sauté' mode. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the Instant Pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve the pork chops with the thickened sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
