Chinese Pork Chops

This recipe is a family staple at our house. My picky kids eat the heck out of these. I have a neat trick..When I get the economy pack of pork chops from the store I immediately divide the chops into one meal portions ( 6 chops for us) mix up the marinade and toss it into each bag and put them in the freezer that way it can marinade while the chops are thawing out.

I didn't have time to marinade it and had bone in pork chops. I cut the meat from the bone and made small strips and put them in a casserole dish. I mixed up the ingredients and poured over the meat. I baked it in the oven for about 45 min. covered. It turned out great with enough sauce for white rice. No left-overs. I'll make this one again.

Love this recipe. The porkchops come out so juicy. I use fresh garlic and ginger minced instead of the powder and I also use honey instead of brown sugar. I also add about a tablespoon of distilled vinegar to help tenderize the porkchops. I like to use thin cut porkchops and cut them into strips about an inch wide. I marinade them for a few hours and then sautee it on the stove top.Turns out wonderful.

I replaced the lemon juice with lime juice, more of a thai flavor and baked 25 minutes on a 425 oven, this was so good and easy.

I can’t grill to save my life, so I did a mix of what other reviewers said. I followed the same ingredients, but I cut the pork into bite-size pieces. I let it marinate in the fridge for several hours in a Ziplock bag. Then I poured the entire contents of the bag into a 13x9 dish (including the marinade) and baked it at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. We put it atop white rice. Anywho... excellent recipe! My husband loved it. It will definitely be a regular on our table.

I just made this for dinner it was great! I did make a few changes since I really didnt have time to marinate it for long, I cut up the pork chops in bite size pieces and marinated for about 2 hrs, then put it all in a pan and let it cook, I also cooked a bag of Birdseye steam fresh broccoli for about 3min in the microwave then tossed in the pan w/ the pork and sauce, let cook another 10min (till meat is no loger pink) served over rice. My kids (5 and 18mths) loved it and asked for more! Will make again!

I cooked these up in the oven (although at 450°f for 20 - 25 minutes as I usually do), and they turned out fine. It was fine... a bit sweeter than I expected it to turn out, but no complaints. However, it didn't really have that special spark to make me want to do it again.

Good marinade, I will definitely use this one again. I like teriyaki, soy sauces, and this was very good. Marinated for 10 hours, it was good, and not overpowering, but I would prefer it to be a bit stronger - so I'll go for a full day next time. Also, I would probably add a 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard (Chinese or Goldman's), and a 1/4 teaspoon (maybe less) of apple cider vinegar - OR just - increase the ginger a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon. I put these in the oven on 425, for 25 minutes - probably could have taken them out around 20 minutes and tinfoiled them to rest for the last five minutes - use a thermometer, pork should be at 170, but I like to take it out around 160-165, and let it rest until it comes to temperature. Next time - I'll slice the chops into strips, marinade, bake, serve over rice sauteed with scallions, sesame oil, garlic and broccoli. Can't wait!

For such a simple combination of ingredients, the flavor turns out amazing! I have used this as a marinade for chicken as well as pork. Marinaded them for 2 hours minimum. All times we have BBQ'd the meat and LOVE the flavor. Thanks for this one!

Delicious!!!!! My husband and I both loved them. I made them according to the directions, except I didnt let them marinate for 6 to 8 hours, but only 3 1/2 hours. I also cooked these on the Barbeque. Tender, juicy, full of flavor. Very easily the best pork chops we've ever ate. This will become one of my regular pork chop recipes!! Thanks so much!!!!

We LOVE this recipe! The recipe doesn't say how thick the chops were and we get the thick ones so it took 20-25 minutes. I have never had pork chops taste so good and I didn't change a thing. I used my food saver marinater and 2 hours was enough time. If you like this marinade and you like seafood I suggest you try Barbeque Halibut Steaks from this web site.

My daughters loved this - the sauce is sweet and tangy and the meat just soaks it right up. Delicious.

I used honey to replace the brown sugar, fresh minced ginger and garlic, and grapeseed oil to replace the unhealthy vegetable oil. I brought the marinade to a simmer then cooled it overnight in the fridge before marinating the chops. I let them sit all day, then grilled them over relatively high heat. These got a bit blackened on the grill due to the sugar content of the marinade, but I thought they were otherwise wonderful, flavorful and juicy. I will just have to watch them more carefully to prevent the deep charring of the grill marks. Served along a simple ginger/garlic saute of sugar snap peas and bias cut carrots with shallots. Will make again.

These pork chops are delicious, cheap, and very little effort. I made the recipe even easier by just pouring all the ingredients in a casserole pan, mixing them together, adding the meat, and putting them in the fridge to marinate for the day. Then I threw them in the oven. I didn't baste them with any remaining marinade and they turned out moist and delicious regardless. Very little effort for a nice dish that doesn't even require any ingredients that I didn't already have. We will make these often.

I recently got a new grill and have been trying out new recipes as I learn to use the thing and this one is amazing. I didn't have time to marinade for 6-8 hours so instead it was probably only about 4, I also used a thinner cut bone in chop. The taste on these was perfect, in fact both my kids who I usually have to beg to eat asked if there were any leftovers could I send them for lunch the next day at school...that has never happened. I followed the recipe exactly and no changes were needed. These will definitely become a staple in my house!

I'm not a huge pork chop person but my fiance is, so I'm constantly trying out new recipes for them. This was a real winner! I chose it because it was so low in calories for my diet, but it was incredibly delicious as well. I followed the recipe, but I only marinated them for about four hours. I did poke a few holes in each chop with a fork so it would absorb the marinade better. Finally, I reduced the remainder of the marinade and poured a little on top of the pork chops right before serving. Delicious!

Made these today for dinner and because of Hurricane conditions I ended up just making them in the oven and they turned out pretty well. I marinated them all night then threw them in the oven with the marinade. Enjoyed by all who ate them. I would like to try them on the grill next time though.

I love it, I didn't have lemon so I used vinegar instead but it was fantastic!

These chops were fantastic! Easy and delicious. We ate them with home grown grilled squash. They were just as good as left overs a couple nights later. I will definitly be keeping this in my recipe box.

Best pork chop I ever ate!

I just became a big pork fan so I just tried this recipe! I used the exact amounts of everything except i grated some fresh garlic and used 2 huge pork chops with bone. Only marinated it for an hour but it came out great. I baked it in the oven, covered, for almost an hour; probably took long because the chops were huge. It was so tasty though! Served with white rice. Easy and delish!

Great flavor! Didn't want to grill so baked in glass Pyrex at 350 for 30.

I made these last night and they were THE BEST PORK CHOPS EVER. I had bone in pork chops and it didn't alter it at all. They were so juicy and had a great flavor. My husband loooooved it. I will definitely be cooking this A LOT.

SOOOOO good the best I have ever had. I didn't have ginger so I used Garlic instead and added a dash of basil and majoram and thym. Turned out so good my daughter was even raving!!!Thanks for the recipe!!!

A little too salty for my bf, but I enjoyed them.

What I did was add 1 tsp. of five spice powder, (maybe more if I'm being honest I was kind of dancing and cooking at the same time), I only used 1/4 c. Splenda brown sugar blend, low sodium soy sauce and a little chopped green onion. Really good. I served it with Sesame Noodles. NOTE: I did broil these and they came up super juicy.

This was a huge hit, and will most definitely become a staple in our house! I didn't change a thing - grilled to perfection! Served it with sweet potato fries, raw broccoli and ranch dressing (for our boys), and an avocado salad with citrus vinaigrette. Yummy!

I'm not usually a reviewer, but I was blown away by this!! I seriously may never order out for Chinese food again!! I subbed sesame oil for the vegetable oil, sliced my pork into strips before marinating for 3 hours and baked at 350 for 30 minutes. I poured only half of the marinade over the pork and saved the rest. While the pork was baking, I added about 1 cup of vegetable stock to the remaining marinade and simmered it to pour over the top. I served this over jasmine rice, which gave it a lot more authentic flavor. On the side I served Sesame Green Beans, also from this site. No leftovers and my super picky 4-year-old ate it too!!!

These are excellent! I only had time to marinate for about 2 hours and pan fried them on the stove and they still turned out flavorful and delicious. I am thinking of using this marinade on chicken breasts...

Excellent - hubby and I both loved these. I followed the recipe exactly, except I only used 1 tbsp of lemon juice. One of the other reviewers mentioned that it was a bit sour. It was great and I will definitely make it again.

The pork chops turned out so moist and delicious!

Really good flavor achieved by staple pantry items. And it would've tasted even better yet had I remembered to poke holes in my chop, or reserve some marinade for basting. I think this would taste good on chicken, too. Thanks Benny for sharing!

YUMMY! The kids gobble these up! Thanks.

very good marinade used 1/2 soy sauce and 1/2 pre-made teriyaki sauce left everything else the same. used on steak. tasted just like the beef on a stick at our local Chinese restaurant.

An excellent marinade that made the pork tender and delicious

These were excellent, I only marinated them for a few hours and they were still good.

A little dry but the taste was really good.

I marinated the pork chops overnight and cooked them in a skillet instead of a grill. Turned out great. Thank God for a thermometer to prevent overcooking. The sauce was light brown and tasted pretty "Chinese-y." My husband and I really enjoyed it.

VERY GOOD! I put all the ingredients and the pork chops in a Ziploc (made sure they were one row flat) and froze it till the morning of. Grilled them and served with Jasmine Rice and they were great!

This recipe was very easy to make and tasty too. Adults and kids both liked it. Gives a nice variety to my traditional lineup of pork chop recipes. I will definitely be making this one again.

These were just okay wouldn't make this again as they were a little dry and not as flavorful as I hoped. We grilled ours and that may have had an effect on them.

Very good recipe, it worked especially well when we cut the pork into chunks and used this as a stir fry marinade. Will definitely make this recipe again!

I did what one reviewer suggested and cut up the pork into strips and baked in the oven. I then thickened the sauce to pour over pork and rice. Sooo good!!!

Great flavor! Hubby enjoyed too! Did not have ginger, but otherwise made as per recipe.

Since the first time that I tried this I have been in love with this dish that is very easy to make. Every time that I make pork chops I make them this way all except for one time when I tried another recipe that was just a waste of time. I was courious one day and tried this marinate on ribs and I was not at all dissapointed. Great recipe

The marinade is great - I would give 5 stars for that - but the meat turned out to be very dry.

This recipe was awesome! I definatly would make it again :)

Yum! The whole family enjoyed this. The only variations were fresh garlic, powdered ginger and I squeezed the juice of a half a lemon into a ziploc bag and marinated for about 20 minutes (was in a hurry!). They were super tasty and we will definitely make again.

Way too salty!

These were great. I did use bone-in,but that was the only change. Oh, used low sodium soy sauce.

I did not like this recipe at all. I was expecting a much bolder flavor and it didnt have much flavor at all. I will not make this recipe again.

Delicious! We'll have to remake this soon! I used fresh ginger (about tsp. finely chopped) instead of powdered ginger. I also added a scant cup of crushed pineapple to the marinade. They were so succulent, and reminded me of a Hawaiian luao. I opted to use my George Foreman (too lazy to fire up the charcoal grill). I would double the amount of oil, because I felt the caramelized sugars kept sticking. This would be great for entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy! Followed recipe exactly - grilled on the George Foreman. What we all actually really loved most about this was that it didn't really have much of an 'Asian' taste...we aren't really big fans of Asian cuisine in my family; but this was really good. Thanks Ben!

My family and I loved this recipe, but I found it a little too salty. I think next time, I'll cut down on the soy sauce and perhaps marinade for a little less time (I did 5 hours). The only changes I made to the recipe were to add more Garlic Powder than suggested, and about a tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar.

This is one of my favorite recipes by far. I made it so much that my boyfriend told me to give it a break.

These were absolutely delicious! If using the grill, I do highly recommend that you grill each side of the coneless chops for 2 minutes per side using a hot grill, otherwise you'll end up with shoe leather. I used Wegman's boneless thin cut boneless pork chops. They turned out mouth watering!

Wow - everyone thought these were great. I marinated for about 8 hours and then grilled them on my stove top grill. Only took about 6 min per side and they were done and had beautiful grill marks and nice caramelization. I used bone in loin chops and they were very tender and not dry at all. Will definately make these again - they were very flavorful. Highly recommend these. Oh I did use real garlic and next time will use fresh ginger too.

Had a definite chinese flavor,very good

I have been making a similar recipe for years but had not htought of grilling..I take thick pork chops marinate overnight with soy sauce/brown sugar and a pack of the dry italian seasoning dressing. Before baking I add a small amount of water to dish and bake covered for approx 2 hours....not so muh water to dillute but enough so it doesn't dry out....they are always moist and fall apart from cooking

Very flavourful and easy to pull together. I threw in about a cup of crushed pineapple and some frozen brocolli florets before I put it all in the oven in a 13x9 dish. I baked at 350 as directed but after 30 mins it was nowhere near done so I turned it up to 400 for another 15 minutes.

Great and flavorful! I pounded the pork chops thin which made them really tender. Also I substituted sesame oil for vegetable oil.

I am usually not a big fan of pork but this recipe has totally won me over to the pork side! Yum!

delicious

Simple recipe and everyone loved them. I substituted real garlic, marinated the pork chops for 6 hours and grilled them out doors on the barbeque. The chops were about 1" thick and I got great grill marks on them. With the marinade they almost tasted like steak.

fixed as a special meal for friends and all were very happy and wanted recipe. that means it was gooood. made

I thought these were very good, though my husband said they were a little on the salty side even with a low-sodium soy sauce. We did marinade them considerably longer than called for, so next time we'll stick to the recommended 6-8 hours. Still, this recipe is a keeper!

Took other reviewers advice and cut back the soy sauce, they are amazing. Have made these 4 times on the grill and turned out prefect everytime, even when my husband burned them.

I was only able to marinate for 2 hours and it still turned out tasty.

Excellent. Only had them in the marinade for an hour or so and they still had great flavor. Will make many more times in the future.

Just ok. It wouldn't have been different if you just poured teriyaki on them. Actually a little sour with the lemon. Wont make again.

loved this recipes and so did my family!!!! YUM

I did these on the Foreman grill. They were juicy and flavorful. Thanks!

Yummy!

These were quite good. I used bone-in rather thin pork chops and about 3 cloves of crushed garlic instead of powder. I guess I marinaded them about 6 hours. Every tasty. We will be having these again. Thanks!

EXCELLENT RECIPE! Would recommend using fresh minced ginger, rather than powdered...YUM!

This is the first recipe I cooked on my new Cuisinart Griddler (like a George Foreman grill) and it turned out wonderfully! The pork chops were juicier than any I've ever had. The marinade was so delicious, even though I only had time for it to marinate for 5 hours. It didn't taste particularly like something Chinese, just very flavorful and savory. They wouldn't seem out of place served with mashed potatoes and corn bread. I'll be making these again and trying it with chicken!

Delicious and easy marinade! Thanks! I didn't grill--it's too cold outside to take it to the grill, so I just fried on the stove top for about 15 min each side. Very flavorful and moist--I marinated for a day or so. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good. I will be making these again many times. I followed the directions exactly but only marinated them for 4 hours because I forgot to prepare the marinade sooner. We did these on the George Foreman grill. Thanks.

Ever since trying this recipe, this is the only way that I have prepared pork chops. I use freshly grated ginger, a grated garlic clove, and I add some lemon zest. I cook them on the stove top grill pan. They are a hit every time.

My husband really loved this sauce. He likes bold flavors but doesn't like heavy sauces...this was perfect for him. Easy to make, too.

A little salty but good. I used bone in 3/4" chops, marinated for about 45 minutes, then baked in a glass baking dish covered for 15 minutes, uncovered 10 minutes. Next time I would baked uncovered the entire time and for only about 20 minutes. Mine were a little tough and dry. I used the juice as an au jus and diped the pieces in. Made White rice and fresh green beans - spashed the juices on them also. All in all a great marinade.

I seared these and then baked them. They were good, but kind of bland for me. Maybe making a sauce out of the marinate, reducing/thickening it and pouring it on top?

I have been trying to recreate this BBQ favorite from my childhood with little success until now. I used thin pork chops and found that both fresh and dry ginger and garlic work for this recipe. Thank you!

I used country style spare ribs. They were very good. We will be making this again.

This was soooo good. If you know what the sauce tastes like that comes wih fried dumplings, then that's what it tastes like! I marinated my chops for a day and 1/2 and they were soo juicy! Def a keeper!

I thought these were a little salty, even with reduced sodium soy sauce, though I tend to prefer food with less salt than most people. My husband really liked them. The pork chops were very tender. We cooked to 140 degrees (they finish cooking off the heat) then covered loosely for about 10 minutes before cutting.

VERY good and very simple to prepare. I served it with stir fried veggies and basmati rice. A big hit!

These weren't bad I cooked mine at 425 for 25 min. I marinated the pork overnight. 6-8 hours isn't long enough. They turned out tender and juicy.

My husband and I loved this recipe. Easy and good! I made a single change out of necessity. We only had about 1/4 of cup of soy sauce so I substituted 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. Turned out great.

Great flavor. I marinated overnight, then grilled on the George Forman. Next time I will cut into strips before marinating so the flavor can really saturate the pork and stir fry.

Pretty solid recipe. Just a hint of "chinese" flavor though. The overall taste that comes through is sweet but I like sweet meat.

We let thin boneless pork chops marinade in this overnight before grilling. They were delicious!

These turned out great. I used fresh garlic and ginger instead. My husband loved them and my 15 month old scarfed it down. Thanks for another recipe to add to my collection.

Excellent, have used it on chicken and it is great. Family favorite. A staple in my kitchen.

So tasty and easy to make! A great choice for quick dinner.

Made very thick chops; awesome meal. Very, very tender and just the right amount of sweet, tart, and salt. I cut it up and placed over rice. Recommend making extra sauce to drizzle over and add to rice. Great side kick was the asparagus and cashews from this site!

Salty...

I am not a pork chop girl or are we a pork chop family!! But With the price of food these days I got them on sale and thought OK what now! I looked and looked for a recipe and came across this one and made it just and the recipe says with the only exception of omitting the oil,, and I can not say LOUD ENOUGH HOW GREAT THIS WAS!!!!! MY 10 year old son ate 3 1 inch thick chops!! I will be adding this one to the favorites!!!!

Delicious.. tastes just like chinese pork from a restaurant, only better! I didn't marinate mine for as long and they came out great; if any longer might have been too salty for me. Went great with brown rice and a side of veggies!
