SOY AND GINGER MARINATED PORK CHOPS



Soy and Ginger Marinated Pork Chops image

I got this recipe out of Martha Stewart Living magazine, and have made it a number of times. The pork comes out so juicy and tender, no matter what kind of chops I use. To be truthful, I only use the marinade, and I cook the chops on the BBQ. I normally use boneless loin chops, about 1" thick, and marinate them for about an hour. I use only half the sugar because I don't like a sweet meat, and it helps keep the chops from burning on the grill. We love this served with rice.

Provided by MailbagMary

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 scallion, finely chopped
fresh ground pepper
4 pork chops (8 ounces each, 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Whisk together soy sauce, 3 tablespoons oil, ginger, sugar, chopped scallion, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Arrange pork chops in 9X13 inch glass dish. Reserve 3 tablespoons marinade and pour rest over chops. Marinate, covered with plastic wrap, flipping chops halfway through, for 45 minutes.
  • Heat remaining tablespoons of oil in large sklillet over medium high heat. Remove pork chops from the marinade and sear for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Flip chops, and sear until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes more. Transfer chops to a board or platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Add reserved marinade to skillet. Simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 30 seconds. Spoon over chops, and garnish with chopped scallions.
  • The preparation time includes the marinating time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful than boneless pork chops, but they take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use boneless pork chops, but be sure to cook them over medium heat so they don't dry out.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives pork chops their flavor, so it's important to choose one that you like. There are many different marinades to choose from, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the pork chops, the more flavor they will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate them, the better.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook the pork chops over high heat, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook pork chops that are flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection.
