Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. This will be your marinade.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Reserve the marinade.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the reserved marinade.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 9

Simmer the sauce for 3–5 minutes until it thickens.

Step 10

Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the thickened sauce. Cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and spoon extra sauce over them.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with rice or steamed vegetables.
