Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 pieces green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
Season the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chicken broth to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in the bottom of a slow cooker in a single layer.
Pour the marinade evenly over the pork chops, making sure they are well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and infused with flavor.
About 10 minutes before serving, make the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and set them aside on a plate.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker, mixing well to thicken the sauce. Let it cook on high for another 5-10 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the slow cooker and coat them in the thickened sauce.
Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
