Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar or mirin to the marinade.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Make sure to let the pork chops rest before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep them moist.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork chops in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power until warmed through.
• Serve the Asian Braised Pork Chops with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
