Pork Chops in a Garlic and Ginger Sauce

I made this easy recipe for pork chops in a garlic and ginger sauce for friends last night, and it turned out great. The sauce has a sweet and salty combination that I love, and it’s an easy meal to prepare with little prep work.  These delicious Asian pork chops were a hit with all of us, and they paired nicely with a spinach salad with soy ginger dressing, Asian roasted broccoli, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes.

Pork Chops in a Garlic and Ginger Sauce

Garlic and Ginger Sauce:

• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• ¼ cup of honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ tsp grated fresh ginger
• ¼ tsp water

Pork:

• 4-6 thin-cut pork chops
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Green onion, sliced (for serving)

How to Make Pork Chops in a Garlic and Ginger Sauce

Make the sauce by combining cornstarch and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until smooth. Add honey, garlic, ginger, and water, then bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce the heat and let it thicken.

Season the pork chops with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Cook the pork by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

Pour the sauce over the pork chops, then toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

To serve, place the pork on a serving plate along with the sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
