Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the pork chops. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make a sauce. Set aside.
Cut the cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate, covering them loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crunchy. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss to coat the cabbage evenly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, placing them on top of the cabbage. Spoon some sauce over the chops and let everything cook together for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve the pork chops on a bed of the flavorful cabbage mixture. Pair with steamed rice or noodles if desired.
