Asian Style Pork Chops

I don’t make pork chops very often but once in a while Jim will ask for them.  So when he asked this time, I knew I wanted to add a lot of flavor as I’m not a huge fan of pork chops.  I don’t think there is ever enough flavor and can be dry. So when I came across this simple recipe with some bold flavors I knew I wanted to try it. I served it with a side salad and dinner was done and Jim was a happy guy!

INGREDIENTS
4 pork chops ( I used boneless pork chops)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 Tablspoons honey
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons Sriracha
Black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a medium size bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and Sriracha sauce. Pour over pork chops and let marinate for 20 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade (save marinade) and cook pork chops for five minutes on the first side or until you get a golden brown color, flip pork chops and pour the marinade over the pork chops and continue to cook on the second side for another five minutes. If you have thin pork chops, like I did, you can finish cooking in the pan. If you have large bone-in pork chops you can finish cooking the pork chops in the oven at 400 degrees. If finishing in the oven, roast for about ten minutes or until fully cooked through.
Serve warm.

Enjoy!
