Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. In this article, we'll share two flavorful recipes for soy and honey pork chops: a classic pan-fried version and a more adventurous baked version with a sweet and tangy glaze. Both recipes are easy to follow and perfect for a weeknight meal. The pan-fried pork chops are coated in a simple marinade of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger, then seared until golden brown and cooked through. The baked pork chops are coated in a similar marinade, then baked in the oven until tender and juicy. The glaze is made with soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and pineapple juice, and it adds a delicious sweet and tangy flavor to the pork chops.
These recipes are both great options for a quick and easy weeknight meal. They're also versatile and can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER
This is a wonderfully simple and hands-off way to prepare a flavorful hunk of meat, equally suited to a weeknight or a dinner party. There is no need to brown the pork first because the meat gets appealingly dark and caramelized while braising in the rich combination of soy sauce and honey. Fresh cilantro, scallions and a squeeze of lime added just before serving bring freshness. This meal is flexible: It works over rice or other whole grains, tossed with noodles or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
- Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
- Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure your pork chops are cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist.
- Sear the pork chops: Searing the pork chops in a hot pan before cooking them in the oven will help to develop a flavorful crust.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking will add extra flavor to the meat.
- Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them for just long enough to reach the desired internal temperature.
