- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- Five Spice Powder

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh Ginger
How to Make Asian Chops
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
- Add the cornstarch to the sauce mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the marinated pork chops and marinade in a single layer in an oven-safe dish just large enough to hold them.
- Bake uncovered for 10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Basting halfway through with the marinade adds extra deliciousness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
