Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, wasabi paste, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor).

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them into the hot skillet. Reserve the marinade for later.

Step 7

Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside to rest.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.

Step 9

Brush the glaze over the cooked pork chops or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides like steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
