[Korean Recipes] Korean-Style Pork Chops

I came up with this recipe for Korean-Style Pork Chops last summer and since then it has been on our dinner menu often. I prefer using thick boneless pork chops however you could use bone-in pork chops if you prefer. This delicious marinade/glaze is versatile and can be used in a variety recipes including on grilled pork chops, country-style pork ribs, and I have even doubled the marinade to make slow cooker Korean-Style Pulled Pork using about a 2 1/2-3 pound pork shoulder or pork butt.

This is a perfect meal to whip up on a busy weeknight. The marinade doesn’t require a lot of ingredients so you can easily make it in a few minutes. I like to brown the pork chops on the stove first then bake it in the oven for another 30-40 minutes. Baked meals are some of my favorites. I love when a meal is baking in the oven I can clean up and set the table. Before I know it, the buzzer is going off and dinner is ready.

The finishing touch is to then pop it under the broiler the last few minutes. I like to let the pork rest for a few minutes before serving, then I’ll drizzle it with some of the juices and top it with chopped green onions. The result is tender and juicy pork chops full of flavor.

I love to serve this with a side of rice and steamed veggies. If I have leftovers, I’ll shred or chop up the pork and add it to lettuce wraps for a yummy lunch.

If you are looking for some new ideas for dinner, you definitely want to add this to the menu!
