Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the glaze.

Step 3

In a separate small dish, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the pork chops in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the pork chops and set them on a plate to rest.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the glaze mixture. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the cornstarch slurry to the glaze and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly in the glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chops as they heat through.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the glazed pork chops and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
