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. 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.

Recipe Notes
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.

Can I let the pork chops sit in the sauce for a few days?
jo says
Not for a few days, but you can definitely marinate them overnight.

So in love with this recipe, and I’ve riffed off of it so many ways to mix things up (since I get into recipe jags and don’t want to drive my housemates nuts)!!! Tonight I’m sauteing diced chicken breasts in this marinade and I’m sooo looking forward to sitting down and eating at last!! Note- I only use half (cough- or less- cough) of the Sriracha because I’m a super spice wimp, but sometimes when I’m feeling brave I add a bit of ground ginger to the sauce to up the heat a hint without blowing the roof of my mouth off, haha. Add a few carrots and some rice and VOILA! The perfect dinner for the whole family!

That sounds fantastic! We’re glad you love it 🙂
Maddy Perry says
Any ideas on a substitution for honey? My daughter is under the age of 1 so honey isn’t safe for her to eat yet.
Jo Cooks Team says
Try some agave 😊
Latoya Dawson says
I don’t have sesame oil. What can I use instead?
Jo Cooks Team says
If you can find sesame oil in the international section of your grocery store, I highly recommend it for the flavor! If not, olive oil will work.
Jackie millington says
Hi jo recipe looks delicious. I don’t have sriracha would sweet chilli and some Tabasco work ?
Jo Cooks Team says
For sure!
Joan Tisdale says
My family loved this dish. I used less Siracha and added a splash of lemon juice and ketchup. It was a hit!!
Mary E Bailey says

Delicious, a sweet and very slightly spicy marinade. They really liven up a pork chop!
Kaala says
I am not someone who re-uses recipes much as I like to try new things… This pork chop recipe is the exception.. I have used it countless times because it is SO good.
Thomas Saliou says
I just made these for dinner and actually decided to grill them outside on the gas BBQ. Turned out amazing! So juicy and nicely charred! Wow! I recommend pairing this protein with a creamy mushroom udon noodle dish. So good! Bravo!
Tom says
What’s the garnish on top?
Jo Cooks Team 2 says
parsley for colour 🙂
Patty Z. says
Made this last night. It was fantastic! Followed the recipe with exception of finishing in the oven. Made with boneless 1/2 inch pork chops.
Erin C says

Jo Cooks Team says
You can reduce the amount of hot sauce if you’re worried about spice 🙂
Christina Davis says
