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 Gochujang.  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.  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.

4

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops (boneless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang ((red chili paste) or sriracha)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Before You Begin! If you make this, please leave a review and rating letting us know how you liked this recipe! This helps our business thrive & continue providing free recipes.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
  • In a medium size bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and gochujang. Pour over pork chops and let marinade for about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet for medium high heat. Add pork chops, without marinade, and cook for about 5 minutes for the first side, or until it gets a nice brownish color. Flip the pork chops and pour the remaining marinade over them. Cook another 5 min on this side.
  • Place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking them. Roast for about 10 minutes, or until pork chops are completely cooked through.

Notes

  1. If your pork chops are not very thick, mine were about 1 inch in thickness, you might not need to finish cooking them in the oven.

Absolutely delicious! My boneless pork chops were perfectly juicy with a lovely caramelized glaze, and after living in South Korea for three years the gochujang tasted like “home”. This marinade/sauce is super versatile, too, and I’ll add a little ketchup and strawberry jelly to turn it into a Korean fried chicken sauce. YUM!

It was delicious my family enjoyed it!
when I made it only thing I did different was rub cornstarch on my pork chops to make sure they won’t dry out.
Thank you for posting.

Made this with Gochujang, was perfect. Used the leftover marinade/sauce and cooked some green pepper and chopped leeks for a topping sauce. It was really great. Thanks!

Wow, this was very easy to make. Only marinaded it for 20 minutes, will go longer next time just to see if it increases the flavor. My husband and I really enjoyed this dish, and I was surprised how moist the chops were. We loved the sauce and used a sweet chile sauce. We made some rice and an Asian salad to complete the dinner. Excellent!

This recipe is okay, I used gochujang in place of the Sriracha because I prefer the smokiness it lends to the dish.

Hi there! You mentioned making extra sauce if you were going to serve it over noodles.
In the recipe instructions you state to remove the chops from the marinade to cook them. I don’t see instructions on how to make the sauce. Are you to add the marinade to the skillet to thicken it at some point? Can’t wait to try this recipe.

Yes, I would just probably double the ingredients for the sauce so you have extra in the pan, you can even reserve it and just cook it separately until it starts bubbling up, you don’t want to reduce it too much.

So yummy and easy to make. Let it marinate in the fridge for 2 days. It was amazing!! Served it with roasted broccoli and rice. Hubby loved it. Will definitely make this again.

This is something I will make again!! At first (while eating it) we thought it was interesting, but as the more we at we thoroughly enjoyed it! and knew we would make it again!! I have to admit though – I didn’t have any ginger and I had to change the hot sauce – as I had to use what I had in the house, but it still turned out delicious!! I would highly recommend trying this recipe!!
