Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Scallions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine Chinese five spice powder, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Step 3
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Discard any excess marinade.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the pork chops to the skillet, cooking them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop reads 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
