- Cover and cook 15 minutes.

Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick.
- To ensure that the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check that the pork chops are cooked through by cutting into one of them. The meat should be opaque all the way through, with no pink in the center.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the pork chops in the Asian-inspired marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To make the rice, use a long-grain rice such as basmati or jasmine rice. This type of rice will cook up light and fluffy.
- To add more vegetables to the dish, stir in some chopped carrots, celery, or broccoli along with the rice.
- Serve the pork chops and rice with your favorite Asian-inspired sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
