Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the pork chops are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place them in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
4. While the pork chops are cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside.
5. Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
6. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and cook over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2 minutes.
7. Return the pork chops to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, flipping them once to ensure they are well-coated in the sauce.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
9. Serve the Chinese pork chops hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
