Gochujang-Glazed Pork Chops with Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Start the rice according to the package directions.

2. 2

   Whisk the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic and sesame oil in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Season the chops lightly and sear in the oil over medium-high heat about 4 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Lower the heat, pour in the glaze and turn the chops to coat; simmer 1-2 minutes until sticky and 145°F, watching so the glaze doesn't burn.

5. 5

   Slice and serve over rice with sliced cucumber and green onions; for spice-shy kids, pull one chop before glazing and drizzle it with honey and soy instead.
