Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. 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 evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours for better flavor absorption.

Step 3

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid (reserve the marinade for later). Carefully place the pork chops in the hot skillet.

Step 6

Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Cover with a lid and let the pork chops cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Garlic Ginger Pork Chops with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.
