Cooking
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cook the pork chops in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown, aiming for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Serve the pork chops garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
For maximum flavor, consider marinating the pork chops overnight. Serve hot with sides like steamed rice or green beans.
