Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup Plum preserves
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the mixture to use in the plum dipping sauce.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Brush the hoisin mixture generously over both sides of each chop. Cover and let the pork chops marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While the pork chops are marinating, prepare the plum dipping sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the plum preserves, reserved hoisin mixture, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 4

Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil.

Step 5

Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with extra hoisin glaze as they cook. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 7

Serve the grilled pork chops hot, garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve alongside the plum dipping sauce for a flavorful pairing.
