- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 (15-ounce) can pineapple slices in juice divided
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions
- Make the sauce in a large measuring cup by combining ½ cup low sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup ketchup, ¼ cup light brown sugar, and the juice from 1 (15-ounce) can pineapple slices in juice, reserving the pineapple slices for later. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season 1 ½ pounds thin pork chops on both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Add the pork to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until each side is browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, then stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Add the pork back to the skillet.
- Add the reserved pineapple slices and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve immediately with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
