Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and cornstarch until well combined.
- Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring they are well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the chops on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
