Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 green onions, sliced

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning once or twice to coat both sides.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the chops are grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Remove the chops from the grill and brush them with the thickened marinade.
Let the chops rest for a few minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables.

Interesting Facts

Teriyaki sauce is a popular Japanese cooking technique that involves grilling or broiling meat, fish, or vegetables glazed with a sweet and savory sauce.

The word 'teriyaki' comes from the Japanese words 'teri,' meaning 'shine' or 'glaze,' and 'yaki,' meaning 'grill' or 'broil.'

Traditionally, teriyaki sauce is made with soy sauce, sweet rice wine (mirin), and sugar.

Pork chops are a versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in various ways, including grilling, pan-frying, or baking.

Marinating the pork chops enhances their flavor and helps to tenderize the meat.

The grilled pork chops can also be enjoyed with a side of stir-fried vegetables or pineapple for a complete meal.
