First marinated in a delicious combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and gochujang chili paste, the chops are then browned in a hot skillet before being roasted to perfection in the oven. It’s an incredibly easy main dish with almost no prep that you can make in 40 minutes!

Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Gochujang (red chili paste) or sriracha
- 4 pork chops boneless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium size bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and gochujang. Pour over pork chops and let marinade for about 20 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet for medium high heat. Add pork chops, without marinade, and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes for the first side, or until it gets a nice brownish color. Flip the pork chops and pour the remaining marinade over them. Cook another 2 to 3 min on this side.
- Place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking them. Roast for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until pork chops are completely cooked through.
- Season with some black pepper and serve.

Notes
- Ideally, you want your pork chops to be about an inch in thickness. However, if you use thinner chops they might not even need to go into the oven to finish cooking.
- For the best-tasting Korean pork chops make sure to marinate your chops for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight. The longer you let the pork marinate, the more layered the flavor will be.
- To ensure the chops are fully cooked, you can use an instant-read digital meat thermometer to make sure the pork has reached at least
- . Doing this also helps to keep you from overcooking the pork as well.
- If your pork chops are not very thick, mine were about 1 inch in thickness, you might not need to finish cooking them in the oven.
- Use thick chops. Ideally, you want your pork chops to be about an inch in thickness. However, if you use thinner chops they might not even need to go into the oven to finish cooking.
- Marinate long enough. For the best-tasting Korean pork chops make sure to marinate your chops for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight. The longer you let the pork marinate, the more layered the flavor will be.
- Temp your pork. To ensure the chops are fully cooked, you can use an instant-read digital meat thermometer to make sure the pork has reached at least 145°F (63°C). Doing this also helps to keep you from overcooking the pork as well.
