How to Make Asian Apricot Glazed Pork Loin Chops

  1. Chop the onion and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  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.
  10. Serve the Asian Apricot Glazed Pork Loin Chops immediately over steamed white rice.
