Step by Step Method
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.
