Hoisin Glazed Pork Chops
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time: 5 min
- Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 4 boneless pork chops, 1-inch-thick (about 1 ½ pounds)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- Cilantro, for serving
- Asian Slaw, optional
Method
In a small saucepan, whisk together the garlic, ginger, hoisin, vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic and ginger are fragrant and tender, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the pork chops all over with the salt. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once oil is glistening, place the pork chops in the skillet and cook undisturbed until golden brown on the bottom, 3-4 minutes. Flip the pork chops and repeat until the other side is golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the pork chop, turning often until the internal temperature of the pork registers 135°F on a meat thermometer. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the pork chops with the hoisin sauce drizzled over top and sprinkled with cilantro. If using, serve with Asian slaw alongside.
