Ingredients for Asian Chops

  • Pork Chops
  • Orange Juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Five Spice Powder
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh Ginger

How to Make Asian Chops

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
  2. Add the cornstarch to the sauce mixture and whisk until smooth.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
