Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and set it aside for basting later.

Step 3

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine the reserved 1/4 cup marinade with water and cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly to form a glaze.

Step 7

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). While grilling, brush the pork chops with the thickened teriyaki glaze for added flavor and caramelization.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Garnish the pork chops with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
