Hong Kong Pork Chops Recipe

Prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce , hoisin sauce, honey , chili sauce, and minced garlic in a medium bowl. Divide among 6 little bowls and set aside.

For the marinade , combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, sherry , garlic, ginger , shallot , and salt in a large bowl. Add the pork chops and toss to coat completely. Let rest covered at room temperature for 2 hours, turning a few times.

Combine the honey and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place 2 nonstick skillets, large enough to hold 3 pork chops each, over medium heat. Brown the chops lightly, 5 minutes per side basting with the honey mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, turning the chops after 8 minutes, until the chops are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve each chop with a little bowl of dipping sauce.
