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.

YUMMM! Used powdered garlic and ginger rather than fresh because I didn't want to use the food processor. Also tripled the quantity of the ingredients (with the exception of vegetable oil so that I would have extra sauce. Served with the other dishes from this episode and hubby loved it!

This was devoured instantly by my family. My daughter and husband, the PICKY FOOD SNOB duo, loved it. Easy to prepare and such a no brainer!

My family and I loved them! The pork chops marinated for about one and a half hours, and it really absorbed the flavors. Yummy! Because of that, I don't think the glaze was needed at all - the pork chops were so flavorful and juicy on their own. As other reviewers said, I didn't put them in the oven. They were perfectly cooked after searing them on the stovetop. Also, to cut calories and add flavor, instead of using 1/4 cup oil to the marinade, I used 1/8 cup, and used 1/8 cup low-sodium soy sauce. It tasted great! I also served these chops with the peanut noodle recipe from this episode. It was a wonderful meal!

Easy to make and the chops were tender and tasty. I added soy sauce and used lemon zest and o.j. to keep the orange flavor from becoming too overwhelming based on the other comments. Also I basted my chops with the leftover marinade (after heating it rather than using it as a glaze and was really happy with the result.
