Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless center-cut pork chops, (3/4- to 1-inch thick)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup Korean gochugang sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil, (for cooking)
Possible garnishes: (sesame seeds and chopped scallions)

Steps:

Pour the soy sauce, gochugang, honey, Sriracha, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well. Place the pork chops in a baking dish.
Pour half of the marinade over the pork chops, reserving the rest for later. Allow the pork chops to marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature. If marinating longer, cover and refrigerate the pork chops until ready to use. Then let them sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot add the sesame oil and swirl around the pan.
Place the pork chops in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Then flip once more and pour in the remaining marinade. Let the pork chops simmer in the marinade 2 minutes, then remove from heat. The chops should rest 5 minutes before serving.
