Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze. Set aside.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season them lightly on both sides with black pepper and salt (if using).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and carefully pour the prepared glaze into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, flipping the chops to ensure they are evenly coated and sticky.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the pork chops with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve the sticky pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
