Soy Ginger Marinated Pork Chops with Sesame Sauce
Prep Time30 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time7 Minutes
Ingredients
1/3 cup + 2 tsp less sodium soy sauce (divided; see Note)
3 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus some for the grill
4 Tbsp brown sugar (divided)
2 Tbsp minced green onion
3 tsp finely grated fresh ginger (divided)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp rice vinegar or cider vinegar
Directions
  1. Combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, 3 Tbsp vegetable oil, 3 Tbsp brown sugar, green onion, 2 tsp grated fresh ginger and black pepper in a 13- x 9-inch glass or other non-reactive dish. Set in the pork chops, turn to coat and ensure there are sitting flat in the dish.  Cover, refrigerate and marinate 3 hours, turning chops every 30 minutes.

 

  1. While chops marinate, make sesame sauce by combining, in a bowl, 1 tsp ginger, mayonnaise, sesame seeds, sesame oil, vinegar, 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp brown sugar. Cover sauce and refrigerate until needed.

 

  1. When pork chops have marinated, lift out of the dish, drain well and set on a plate. Discard marinade. Let chops sit out at room temperature 20 minutes.

 

  1. Preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high. Oil the bars of the grill. Set on the pork chops and cook 3 1/2 and 4 minutes per side, or until just barely pink in the centre. (If you’re not sure if the chops are done, make a small incision into the thickest part of one of the chops and peak inside to how see it’s cooked.) Plate the chops and serve with the sesame sauce.
