Korean Style Pork Chops with Kimchi

This is a very simple recipe for Korean Style Pork Chops. A flavorful marinade guarantees a tender and delicious pork chop. I served my chops over spicy kimchi. Kimchi is a spicy cabbage and vegetable mixture which is fermented.  It's also the national dish of Korea!

4 boneless pork chops

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 T. honey

1 T. minced garlic

1 t. sesame oil

2 t. grated fresh ginger

1 T. Sriracha hot sauce

black pepper to taste

1 T. olive oil

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, sesame oil, and Sriracha.  Pour over the pork chops and let marinade for about 20 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add pork chops, without marinade, and cook for about five minutes.  When pork chops are nicely browned, turn over and pour in remaining marinade. Lower heat to medium and cook for another five minutes or so until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

Serve individual pork chops over kimchi and spoon the thickened sauce over the top.
