Oh, you wanna make teriyaki pork chops, huh? Let me tell ya, it ain’t too hard, and they taste mighty fine! First thing you gotta do is get yourself some nice pork chops. Now, I reckon bone-in ones are best, keeps the meat nice and juicy, you see?
Now, let’s get to the marinating part. You need a good teriyaki sauce. You can buy it from the store, or if you’re feeling fancy, you can whip it up yourself. Just mix some soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and a bit of garlic. Simple enough, right?
Once you got your sauce, slather it all over those chops. Let them sit in it for at least half an hour. The longer you let them soak, the more flavor they’ll soak up! But don’t go too long, or they might get too salty.
Now, when you’re ready to cook, you gotta heat up your grill or skillet real good. You want it hot, hot, hot! If you’re using a grill, throw them chops on there. You wanna sear ’em nice, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side should do it. If you’re using a skillet, a splash of oil helps too. Just make sure it’s nice and hot before you add the chops.
Important thing to remember: you gotta cook them chops to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook ’em too long, they’ll be tougher than an old boot! And once they’re done, let ‘em rest for about 5 minutes. Don’t rush this part, or all those juicy goodness will run right out!
Now, you can serve these teriyaki pork chops all by their lonesome or over some fluffy rice. Lemon rice or plain white rice is just perfect! If you’re feelin’ extra fancy, throw some grilled asparagus on the side, or a wedge salad. That’s a meal fit for a king, I tell ya!
So there you have it! Simple as pie and oh-so-good. You’ll be the talk of the town with these teriyaki pork chops, just watch!
