Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
Step 3
Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to 'Sauté' mode. Add a bit of oil to the pot and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Step 4
Deglaze the Instant Pot by pouring in the chicken broth and scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits.
Step 5
Place the pork chops back into the Instant Pot and pour the sauce mixture over them.
Step 6
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing'. Set to 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' mode on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once the cooking cycle completes, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
Step 8
Remove the pork chops and set them on a plate, covering them with foil to keep them warm.
Step 9
Turn the Instant Pot back to 'Sauté' mode. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the Instant Pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 10
Serve the pork chops with the thickened sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
