Ingredients
- 1.30 lb pork loin boneless center cuts

Marinade
- ⅓ cup onion or red onion, julienned
- 1 green onion chopped into 1 inch long pcs
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- ⅓ cup regular soy sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon gochujang optional - for a spicy version
Instructions
- Tenderize pork loin center cuts on both sides using the back of a knife and transfer to a large bowl. Add marinade ingredients to the pork and mix well. Cover pork with a lid or plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan on medium heat. Fry pork chops in small batches with some of the marinade and do not over crowd the pan.
- Fry pork on each side for 2-3 minutes until an internal temperature of 140 F with a digital instant read thermometer. Remove pork from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let the residual heat cook it to 145 F or until juices run clear.
- Cut into large chunks for serving or serve each thick chop per serving. Enjoy!
