Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil. Whisk until the marinade is well-blended.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are completely 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, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 6

While the pork chops are cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to create a glaze. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Brush the cooked pork chops with the heated glaze before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
