Steps:
- Combine all ingredients from the soy sauce to the wine in a shallow dish. Marinate the pork chops in this mixture for 20 minutes to an hour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Sear the pork chops on both sides until cooked through (you can discard any leftover marinade). It should take 5 minutes per side for 1-inch thick pork chops, as long as they were at room temperature when you started cooking them.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

GRILLED CHINESE PORK CHOPS
From Chinese Food Site by Lila Voo. The timing does not include marinating overnight. Serve with fried rice and stir fried green beans. I have reduced the hoisin sauce from 1 cup to 1/2 cup. Also have reduced the sherry wine from 2 tablespoons to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Reductions posted after the first six reviews.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: For the best results, use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
- Tenderize the pork chops: To make the pork chops more tender, you can pound them with a meat mallet or score them with a knife.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture.
- Cook the pork chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy.
- Baste the pork chops frequently: Basting the pork chops with the marinade or a mixture of soy sauce and water will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
