Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang ((red chili paste) or sriracha)
  • 4 pork chops (boneless)

  • black pepper (to taste)

Directions

    In a medium size bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and gochujang. Pour over pork chops and let marinade for about 20 minutes.
