3. Season both sides of the pork loin chops generously with the spice mixture.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
5. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the pork chops and brown for approximately 5 minutes per side.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
7. Once the pork chops are browned, pour the apricot glaze over the chops in the skillet.
8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C) and the sauce has thickened. Baste occasionally.
9. Remove from heat and taste the sauce. Add more pepper or soy sauce to taste, if desired.
