Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and water. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the sauce to help thicken it.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops warm, topped with the sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
