Description

Pork chops are tossed in a zesty marinade made of lemon juice, Sriracha, chili garlic sauce, sesame seed oil and soy sauce then pan-seared to perfection! This easy meal comes together in mere minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Garlic Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seed Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1-½ teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 pound Boneless Pork Chops
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, For Cooking

Preparation

Combine the lemon juice, garlic sauce, sesame seed oil, soy sauce and Sriracha in a small bowl and mix well. Place the pork chops in a large plastic bag and pour marinade over top. Seal the bag.

Place pork chops in the fridge to marinate. You can do this anywhere from 8 hours to as little as 30 minutes.

When ready to cook heat a large skillet to medium heat. Pour half of the olive oil in the skillet and when it is hot place 2-3 of the pork chops in the skillet. Be careful not to crowd them. Cook for about 3 minutes, flip and cook another 3 minutes (see note). Remove cooked pork chops to a clean plate and keep warm. Add the remaining half of the olive oil into the skillet. When it’s hot add the rest of the chops and cook for 3 minutes on each side.

This is great served over brown rice or vegetable fried rice.

Note: Depending on the thickness of your pork chops you may need to adjust your cooking time. I used medium thickness boneless pork chops for reference.
