Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F & begin cooking rice according to your preferred method. I love using a rice cooker with about 3/4 cup of water.
    1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sriracha, sesame oil, and sweet chili sauce.
    1 cup Low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup Honey, 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce, 1 tsp Sesame oil, 1 cluster Garlic, 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce, 4 tsp Fresh ginger
  • Pour half the marinade over the porkchops & allow to sit for 15-30 minutes. Make sure to reserve the remaining half of the marinade.
    2 lbs Boneless pork chops
  • Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray & lay out the broccoli in an even layer. Season with garlic salt & garlic powder. Once the oven is preheated, roast the broccoli for about 10 minutes, or until it starts to crisp up & darken.
    3 cup Broccoli Florets, 1 tsp Garlic Salt, 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the porkchops to the skillet, discarding any marinade that the 'chops had been soaking in. You will likely need to cook in two pans or two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook chops until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
    2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Turn the 'chops over and add the reserved marinade to the pan. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the porkchops reach a food-safe temperature of 150°F. Your sauce will blacken as it cooks, but this is normal *see note*

Notes

It is normal for a marinade with soy sauce to turn blackish as it cooks. 
 
Soy sauce is a dark-colored liquid that contains a pigment called melanoidin, which can give the marinade a darker hue. This is especially noticeable when the marinade is heated or cooked, as the melanoidin becomes more pronounced.
 
If your marinade begins taking on a bitter taste, that is the sign that the marinade is starting to become overcooked or burnt.  For this recipe, if you start to become concerned about a burnt marinade, be sure to turn the heat down & consider adding a tbsp or so of water to the skillet.  You will very likely not reach this point though.
