Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (check using a meat thermometer). Avoid overcooking to keep the pork chops juicy.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a simple salad.
