How to Make Asian Marinated Pork Chops
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Place pork chops (about 1.5 lbs, 4-6 chops) in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Turn the chops to coat both sides.
- Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the chops halfway through.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade (unless making the optional sauce).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the pork chops immediately.
- **Optional Sauce:** If desired, strain the reserved marinade to remove solids. In a small saucepan, bring the strained marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Pour the sauce over the cooked pork chops before serving.
