Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring that each piece is well coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to marinate. For best results, allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

After marinating, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, discarding the excess marinade. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve hot. These pork chops pair wonderfully with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
