Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 0.25 cups Kikkoman soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a bowl, mix together Kikkoman soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Cover and cook the pork chops for an additional 8-10 minutes, turning once and basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides such as rice or steamed vegetables.
