"This recipe is from allrecipes.com. This is what they say: This sticky garlic pork chop recipe seems too good to be true. It only takes a few minutes of prep work, requires no tricky techniques, and doesn't call for any hard-to-find ingredients. I served this with some Bok Choy brown rice. *The one hour marinating time is not reflected in the cook time.*"

Step 1

Combine brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, and fish sauce in a bowl for the marinade. Add a splash of soy sauce and a plop of ketchup and finish off with black pepper and hot sauce.

Step 2

Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a baking dish and lay pork chops over marinade.

Step 3

Pour the remaining marinade on top and toss pork chops until well coated.

Step 4

Wrap with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping chops every 30 minutes, 1 to 2 hours.

Step 5

Remove chops to a plate, scraping any excess marinade back into the baking dish.

Step 6

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Place chops in the hot oil and cook until outsides are nicely charred and meat springs back when lightly prodded, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 8

Remove chops to a plate to rest.

Step 9

Pour the marinade into the skillet and raise heat to medium-high.

Step 10

Cook until marinade is reduced and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 11

Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.

Step 12

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook pork chops, flipping and basting occasionally, until the centers are slightly pink and sauce is to your desired degree of stickiness, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 13

Plate each pork chop and spoon a portion of the sticky garlic sauce on top.

I served this with a side of stuffing and corn...we both thought that the flavor was very intense...I was a bit concerned with the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce...as we kept eating about half way through the pork chops we felt that the flavor was becoming overwhelming...I let them marinate for 2 hours...they might have been on the thinner side...so keep that in mind when preparing...made for "Billboard" tag game...

Yummy. Very easy to make in the skillet. Also flavorful. Served with rice and peas.

Very good pork chops which we enjoyed, using a bit less garlic and hot sauce. I also used about 6 pork chops and it worked out well. Thanks for sharing!
