How to Make Red Cooked Pork Chops

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  2. Add the pork chops to the marinade, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Place the pork chops in a baking dish. For extra flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of water to the bottom of the baking dish before adding the chops.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Alternatively, grill over direct heat for 8-10 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, easy, and flavorful Red Cooked Pork Chops!
