Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless pork chops
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1½ cups jasmine rice
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Cook the rice according to the package. Steam or microwave the broccoli until tender-crisp.
- Whisk the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
- Season the pork chops with pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chops 4 minutes per side until 145°F inside.
- Lower the heat to medium, pour the sauce into the pan, and simmer 1-2 minutes, flipping the chops to coat, until the sauce is sticky.
- Rest the chops 3 minutes, then slice them. Serve over rice with the broccoli, spooning the extra sauce on top and sprinkling with sliced green onions.
- Picky eaters can have the plain pork, rice and broccoli with the sauce on the side.
- Make ahead: whisk the sauce and mince the garlic up to 2 days ahead and keep covered in the fridge.
On the side: Cucumber salad (5 min)
2 cucumbers, 1 bottle rice vinegar
- Thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt.
