INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 pork chops
1/4 c. soy sauce, low sodium
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
black pepper to taste
2 tsp sriracha sauce
HOW TO MAKE KOREAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Place the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha sauce in a medium-size bowl. Mix well and pour this over the pork chops. Let the pork chops marinate for approximately 20 minutes.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet (without the marinade) and sear for about 5 minutes until the first side has browned. Then, flip and pour in the rest of the marinate. Continue to cook the other side for additional 5 minutes.
Step 4: Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked.
Tip:
For this recipe, I used about 1-inch thick pork chops. If using not very thick chops, you might not need to finish cooking them in the oven.
