Sticky pork chops

Sticky pork chops are a delightful blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors that are sure to impress both family and friends. This simple yet delicious recipe uses a combination of ginger, soy sauce, chili sauce, honey, and white wine to create a mouth-watering glaze for the pork fillets. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these sticky pork chops are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:

4 pork fillets
250g
1 tbsp white wine
15g
1 tbsp soy sauce
18g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
2 tbsp chili sauce
30g
2 tbsp honey
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, combine the white wine, soy sauce, grated ginger root, chili sauce, and honey. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Marinate the Pork Chops:
- Place the pork fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the pork, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. If your pan isn’t non-stick, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Pork Chops:
- Once the pan is hot, remove the pork fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off (reserve the marinade for later).
- Place the pork fillets in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
5. Thicken the Sauce:
- While the pork is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
6. Glaze the Pork Chops:
- Once the pork fillets are cooked, reduce the heat to low.
- Pour the thickened marinade sauce over the pork fillets in the pan, turning them to coat evenly with the sticky glaze.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the sticky pork chops to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Marinate: For even more intense flavor, marinate the pork fillets in the sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.

- Proper Heat: Maintain a medium heat to avoid burning the honey in the glaze, ensuring the pork cooks evenly without becoming overly charred.

- Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

- Resting: Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.

- Serving: Pair the sticky pork chops with steamed vegetables or a light salad to complement the rich flavors of the dish.

By following this recipe, you'll achieve perfectly cooked sticky pork chops that are tender, flavorful, and enticingly caramelized. The combination of sweet honey and savory soy sauce, balanced by the spicy chili sauce and aromatic ginger, will leave everyone asking for seconds. Serve with your favorite side dishes for a well-rounded meal.
