Ingredients

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 (1/2-inch-thick) pork chops
1/4 cup honey
Vegetable oil

Slaw:

1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup sliced scallions
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
Salt and pepper
1 cup julienne carrot (about 1 large carrot)
5 cups thinly sliced red and green cabbage
1 cup julienne red pepper (about 1 pepper)
2 cups diced pineapple (about 1 small pineapple)
3/4 cup toasted, chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Add the pork chops and turn to coat. Remove the chops from the marinade.

Reserve the marinade and combine with the honey in a medium saucepan. Bring the honey marinade mixture to a boil and cook at a low boil for at least 10 minutes.

Add chops to a large saute pan coated with vegetable oil and sear on until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Pour the reduced marinade over the chops and bake for 10 minutes, or until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F.

Remove the chops from the oven and set aside to rest for a few minutes.

Slaw:

Whisk together the vinegar, honey, and soy sauce. Drizzle in the oils in a steady stream, whisking to emulsify. Whisk in the crushed red pepper, cumin, cilantro, scallion, and jalapeno. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine the carrot, cabbage, red pepper, pineapple, and nuts and mix well. Add the dressing to the vegetables and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Place some slaw on a plate/platter. Top with the chops and drizzle with some of the reduced marinade.

Ooh La La
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe last week for the first time. I just did the chops. Tasty. I did not have honey on hand so I omitted it... was still very delicious. I'm making again to tonight with centercut chops this time. This one goes in the recipe box.Read more

Simply Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did not make the slaw portion of this recipe - but the pork chops turned out great. We found that the sauce can be used on... more than just pork chops. We used it on stir fry and it was so tasty. This recipe is a keeper! And it is easy too!Read more

Great Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only made the pork chops from this recipe and wow, it was delicious. Only thing I would change is add two more chops to... the recipe since it made so much sauce. Following another reviewers suggestion, I did not marinate it first. Can't wait to grill pork chops in the summer and use the sauce as a glaze...Read more

Hoisin Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I marinated a pork loin with the sauce and then baked it. I seared on my marinade at the last 15 minutes and then boiled the... remaining marinade as a sauce. It waws just amazing. Everyone, including my 5 year old, loved this meat dish.Read more

Extremely flavorful and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my husband and I on a weeknight and we both loved it. The only thing I would change next time is to NOT... marinate pork in sauce prior to cooking. I found that the marinade (due to high sugar content) only burned in the pan. Becuase you really only dip the pork chops in sauce before putting in pan, I don't think any flavor will be lost by omitting this step next time. I would just pan fry the chops plain and then spoon cooked sauce over the top as recipe says. Otherwise, I loved this and will definitely make again.Read more
