Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1/3 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 2 stalks Fresh green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade and sauce base.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer while stirring occasionally.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and allow them to cook for 6-8 minutes or until they are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the skillet while the sauce is simmering. This will thicken the sauce to a glaze-like consistency.
Spoon the thickened sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the San Francisco Pork Chops hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
