Make these flavorful Asian marinated pork chops for a delicious and easy dinner. The marinade is a combination of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and sesame oil, which adds a sweet and savory taste to the pork. This dish is perfect for grilling or pan-searing. Serve the pork chops with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice and steamed vegetables, for serving

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chops are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  4. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve the pork chops with cooked rice and steamed vegetables.
  7. Enjoy!
