As if this week couldn’t get any busier, my schedule for the rest of the week/weekend is jam-packed. So, I’ve relied on simple homemade meals, like these light pork chops with a ginger-soy glaze.
The craziness begins tonight when I host my first of two ‘Lean on Lamb‘ Supper Clubs. The Tri Lamb Group contacted me a few weeks ago asking if I’d like to host a supper club series, and I gladly accepted. The company selects food and lifestyle bloggers from LA, Boston and Washington, D.C. I’ll post about the dinner soon.
I’m spending Saturday and Sunday visiting with friends and family here in LA, then I’m working a post AMA party Sunday night/Monday morning. Let the fun begin! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Recipe:
1 cup homemade chicken broth
2 tbsp. dry white wine
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 3/4-inch-thick organic boneless pork loin chops
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped
Directions:
Combine chicken broth, wine, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic in shallow glass dish; whisk to blend. Place marinade in large Ziploc bag. Add pork and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain pork and reserve marinade. Add pork to skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork to platter. Add marinade and green onions to same skillet. Boil until reduced to glaze, about 1 minute. Spoon glaze over pork.
What a great opportunity Caroline! And a fun weekend! Have a great time and best of luck to you. :) These pork chops look scrumptious!!! A delicious week night meal. :)
Cool, right?! Especially since I’ve never tried lamb (crazy, I know), so it’ll be even better. Thanks so much, Kristy!! Hope you have a great weekend as well. :)
Good, better, best: put a bunch of favorite ingredients together and get something even yummier!

The glaze sounds marvelous.
Your pork looks perfectly juicy. Mine tend to dry out. I must try this recipe. Have a fun weekend full of the craziness! :)
Your ginger soy pork chop looks delicious! Pork goes really well with soy sauce flavor and I make similar dish often. Boy it sounds like you have lots of thing going on, but enjoy your family & friends time! :-)

Simply delicious I’d say! Glad to see that you still cook even though you’re super busy!! I’ve gotten my daughter to see that you still can pull something great tasting together in a minimum amount of time…so much better than running out to buy premade!
I am a HUGE pork chop lover and these pork chops with ginger-soy glaze look absolutely amazing. I have to definitely save this recipe
Pork chops? My FAVORITE meal in the world!
You rock, Sweet Caroline!
These sound absolutely amazing! I love pork chops, we eat them pretty much once a week around here! And soy and ginger are such a great combination with anything. I can’t wait to try these!
