I’m always on the look out for new pork dishes. We don’t eat pork a whole lot but when we do there are only 2 or 3 recipes I use to cook it. This means whenever we have pork it gets boring quickly.
I found a recipe for Honey and Sesame glazed pork chops and thought it sounded interesting. Of course I can’t leave well enough alone so I started tweaking it. We don’t like our main dishes to be too sweet so I cut down on the honey and I added in the soy sauce to give it a more Asian flavor.
Also, the green beans were supposed to be cooked separately but I thought they would taste good with the glaze on them. Turns out I was right. Putting the green beans in the pan with the pork chops was the right decision.
I really liked this dish because it was quick and easy. I had no problem coming home after work and making this tasty dish. I thought the flavor was really good but the sauce wasn’t quite thick enough. I might add in a little bit of cornstarch next time in order to thicken it up and have it stick to the pork chops.
