Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs pork chops (about 4 chops)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  4. While the chops are searing, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the pork chops in the skillet.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the chops simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through, basting occasionally with the sauce.
  7. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet during the last minute of cooking and stir until the sauce thickens.
  8. Serve the pork chops immediately with the honey-garlic glaze spooned over the top.

Notes

  • For thicker pork chops, you may need to increase the simmering time.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to your taste preference.
  • Fresh ginger provides a brighter flavor, but ground ginger can be used in a pinch.
