INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp olive oil

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.
