Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless) Choose based on preference
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Low sodium is recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Essential for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger Or 1 tablespoon fresh if preferred
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
  3. Place the seasoned pork chops in a dish and pour the honey garlic mixture over them, ensuring each chop is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops once hot.
  2. Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  3. While cooking, drizzle some extra marinade over the chops for more flavor. Make sure to use fresh sauce for basting.
  4. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Garnish the pork chops with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Let the pork chops rest after cooking to keep them juicy. For spice, add sriracha to the marinade or some orange juice for a citrus twist. Leftovers can be sliced for sandwiches.
