Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Eight 4-ounce thin pork chops, bone-in (about 1/4-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
Directions
Place 1/4 cup vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, ginger, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic and orange juice and zest in a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Put the pork chops in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Add half of the marinade and reserve the other half until serving. Squeeze out the air, seal and move the chops around in the bag to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, and up to 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove the chops from the bag. Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepot. Bring to a boil to reduce and thicken the sauce a bit, about 2 minutes.
Heat large stainless saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Brown the chops in the hot pan, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the saute pan in the oven and cook until done (155 degrees F internal temperature). Serve with a spoonful of the glaze, with cilantro and sliced green onions sprinkled on top.

I was looking for Asian Pork Chops recipe and came across this one. I'm Japanese, so I'm very familiar with Asian cooking. Reading the recipe, I thought it was a good combination of sweet, tangy, salty, and spicy, but it was missing 2 ingredients: soy sauce and sake! I added 2 tbsp each of them. Just like Italians cook with wine, Japanese cook with sake, it gives such good depth of flavor to Asian inspired dishes. My pork chops came out pretty good, but not great. I think the orange flavor was tad bit too strong. If I were to make this again, I wouldn't put the orange zest.

I followed the recipe exactly as written and the pork chops came out perfect! DH and I loved it. We did not find the glaze overpowering at all. DH also loved the cilantro and green onion toppings. I browned in the stove using cast iron skillet and finished cooking in oven. Pork came out perfectly tender. This is definitely going to be a mainstay recipe for us.
