Steps:
- 1. Blend all glaze ingredients together well and set aside.
- 2. In a large shallow fry pan, heat both oils. Add Garlic and Ginger slices until they're golden brown. Remove and discard. Salt and pepper both sides of the chops. Sear/brown them quickly in the flavored oil. Remove from pan and set aside, covered with foil.
- 3. Turn up the heat and deglaze the pan with the Glaze Sauce, stirring vigorously with a whisk. After about five minutes, turn down the heat and return the chops to the sauce, turning once to coat.
- 4. Cover and allow to cook over low heat for 15 mins or until chops are just firm to finger pressure. Remove chops and set aside to rest (cover with foil to retain heat). Bring the sauce back to the boil and keep stirring until desired thickness. Return chops to sauce just before serving and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- 5. Best served over jasmati rice. (To kick the rice up a notch: throw in 2 - 3 thick slices of fresh ginger in the water - remove before serving)
GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH ASIAN FLAVORS
Steps:
- 1. Combine all of the glaze ingredients except the sesame oil and 2 tsp rice vinegar. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. 2. Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat until smoking. Add the pork to the skillet and cook until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the chops and cook 1 minute longer; trnasfer the chops to a platter and pour off any oil in the skillet. Return the chops to the skillet, browned side up, and add the glaze. Cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer chops to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest until the temp reaches 150 degrees (5 minutes). 3. When the chops have rested, add any juices to the skillet and set over medium heat. Simmer, whisking constantly, until the glaze is thick and caramel colored, 2-6 minutes. Return chops to skillet; turn to coat both sides with glaze. Transfer chops back to plate, browned side up, and spread glaze over chops. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the heat.
- If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute granulated sugar or honey in equal amounts.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice to the glaze for a tangy flavor variation.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.

These Asian-glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy. The flavorful glaze adds a touch of sweetness and umami to the tender pork, and the cooking method ensures that the chops stay juicy and succulent.
