Ingredients

  • 2 pound pork chops (900g)
  • 3 tbsp Char Siu seasoning mix
  • tbsp oyster sauce
  • tbsp all-purpose soy sauce (light soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

Marinating

  • Make 3-5 cuts around the edges of each pork chop, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. This prevents the pork chops from curling up while grilling or pan-frying.
  • Pound the pork chops or pierce them with a fork to tenderize.
  • Combine all the marinade ingredients, adjusting to your taste.
  • Let the pork chops marinate for at least 15 minutes

Cooking

  • Before cooking, let the pork chops come to room temperature.
  • With pan:
    + Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown each side of the pork chops.
    + After browning, pour in all the marinade along with 1/2 cup (120ml) of water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce thickens, leaving a luscious glaze on the meat.
  • With air fryer:
    + Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Cook the pork chops for 10 minutes.
    + Flip the pork chops over, increase the temperature to 390°F (200°C). Brush the marinade sauce over the chops and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
  • With oven:
    + Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
    + Place the pork chops on a grill rack with a drip tray underneath. Bake in the oven for about 7 minutes, then flip, apply the sauce all over the pork chops and continue baking for another 7 minutes.
