Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Honey Asian Pork Chops.
Step 1
Start by creating a flavorful spice paste in a bowl.
Step 2
Combine one tablespoon of vegetable oil with freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, paprika, ground cinnamon, grated orange zest, ground cloves, and ground cardamom.
Step 3
Mix these ingredients well, and then generously rub this aromatic blend all over your pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Next, heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet.
Step 6
Sear them for about ten minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully browned and cooked through.
Step 7
The sizzling sound will be music to your ears! After the chops are perfectly browned, it’s time to add some delicious depth to the dish.
Step 8
Pour in a quarter cup of soy sauce, making sure the chops are well coated.
Step 9
Then, drizzle in some honey, followed by another quarter cup of soy sauce and a splash of water.
Step 10
Stir everything together, and then reduce the heat to medium, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 11
Now, let’s bring some vibrant veggies into the mix! Add sliced zucchinis, carrots, cubed onion, sliced green bell pepper, and thinly sliced celery to the skillet.
Step 12
Stir the vegetables gently, cooking them until they are tender yet still have a delightful crunch, which should take about ten more minutes.
Step 13
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.
Step 14
Serve your beautifully cooked pork chops alongside the colorful medley of vegetables, and enjoy a meal that’s not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes!.
