Ingredients
- 4 thin-cut boneless pork chops
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium if you’re watching your salt)
- 4 tbsp honey (for that sweet sticky glaze)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2–3 tbsp Dragons Twilight seasoning (depending on how fireproof your mouth is)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, lime wedges
Instructions
-
Mix the magic. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sweet chili sauce, and Dragons Twilight. Try not to chug it.
-
Marinate the meat. Pour half the marinade over the pork chops and let them lounge for 10 minutes. Longer if you’ve got time (up to 1 hour).
-
Save the sauce. Reserve the other half of the marinade—don’t mix it with the raw pork, we like you alive.
-
Sear the sizzle. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork chops (discarding that used marinade).
-
Flip & finish. Brown the chops for 5–6 minutes, flip them, then pour in your reserved marinade.
-
Simmer the spice. Let it cook for another 6–8 minutes until the pork reaches 160°F and the sauce thickens.
-
Rest and impress. Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest 3–5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a splash of lime if you're feelin’ fancy.
Pro Tip
Serve over jasmine rice or kimchi fried rice with a side of grilled bok choy. If your dinner table isn’t sweating and smiling at the same time, did you even Dragon?
