Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 Red chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, red chili, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place them into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 2-4 hours for the best flavor.
Step 4
Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and sear them for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Step 5
Flip the pork chops and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Turn off the heat and let the pork chops rest in the skillet for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Step 7
Garnish the pork chops with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or a crisp cucumber salad.
