Korean Style Pork Chops – a simple recipe for Korean style marinated pork chops, resulting in melt in your mouth, super delicious pork chops. Best ever!
I eat pork. I’m a woman and I love pork. You don’t? Especially bacon, bacon makes me happy and grin from ear to ear. But so do pork chops. Beautiful, thick cut, juicy pork chops … Korean style!
I love experimenting with different cuisines. Korean cuisine is one of my favorites! These pork chops are inspired from Korean cuisine using Korean spices and sauces.
How to Cook Korean Pork Chops
I made a simple marinade with soy sauce, garlic and ginger, some honey and some Sriracha sauce. The pork chops are then marinated for a bit, then pan fried in my trusted skillet. Finally, I finished cooking them in the oven for just a few minutes.
When they’re done cooking, the sauce thickens and caramelizes so you end up with these delicious sweet and a bit spicy pork chops that just melt in your mouth. So simple to make and really these pork chops are an ideal dinner to make after a busy work day.
How to Serve Korean Pork Chops
Serve them with some mashed potatoes or your favorite salad. Â Roasted Broccoli is also a favorite for these pork chops.
You can even serve them over rice or noodles. If serving them over noodles I would make a bit extra sauce.

I don’t normally cook pork chops, but they were on sale in the supermarket. I’m also on the keto diet so I dropped honey from the recipie. I love spicy food so I added more sriracha sauce and some red pepper flakes. The result? This was fantastic!!! Extremly tasty and even with the added spice, turned out perfect.
Maria says
Loved this recipe! Easy to make too!

The chops I bought were 2 1/2 ” thick. I have to say they were delicious.

It’s okay not to use sriracha sauce?
jo says
You can use any hot sauce you like or just skip it.
Angela M says
Delicious! Thank you!
Margaret Jimerson says
Can I use this recipe with thin pork chops?
Joanna Cismaru says
You can, just watch the cooking time as they will cook faster.
Liliana Berzoza says
And what if I don’t have a cooking skillet to put in the oven?
Joanna Cismaru says
You can finish cooking them on the stove top. 🙂

Turned out fantastic! Marinated boneless centre rib pork chops for 5 hours. I cooked on the BBQ med heat 3-4 minutes per side then roasted in marinade for 20 minutes and marinade was bubbly and meat was to cooked temperature. Served with BBQ roasted mushrooms, cauliflour and broccoli and salad. Will do again for sure.
Joanna Cismaru says
Sounds wonderful!

any advise would be heaps appreciated
Heather says
Doesn’t a marinade that had raw meat in it need to come to a boil to make it safe to eat? I’m guessing the marinade doesn’t boil when you pour it over the meat in the pan…just read the recipe through and realized that (as I’m whisking up the marinade right now)!
Nicole Beaulieu says
Since you’re cooking the pork chops in a hot pan, yes the marinade will come to a boil and be safe to eat. There isn’t that much of it and it will start bubbling very fast after you add it to the hot pan!
