A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a savory glaze that enhances the natural flavors of the meat.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to achieve a nice sear.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Whisk the glaze ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are well combined.
Pour the glaze over the pork chops in the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
Coat the pork chops evenly with the glaze for maximum flavor.
Cover the skillet and let the pork chops simmer in the glaze for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.
Add a splash of water if the glaze starts to thicken too much during cooking.
Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the skillet to thicken the glaze.
Stir continuously while adding the slurry to avoid lumps.
Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the thickened glaze.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
