Sweet Chili Ginger Pork Loin Chops Recipe | Club Foody

 

This year, Easter will be quiet. David and I will make a nice dinner, open up a bottle (or two) of wine 🍷, and enjoy each other’s company. Normally, I like serving a big ham or rack of lamb. There are also other traditional recipes I enjoy making for this event such as Torta Pasqualina, Tsoureki, Hot Cross Buns, etc.
 
If yours will be as relaxed 🥰 as ours, here’s a recipe that is elegant for the occasion and also extremely delicious… my Sweet Chili Ginger Pork Loin Chops! Loaded with flavors, it takes 30 minutes to make. It’s another delightful way to enjoy this cut of meat !
 
It’s a pretty straightforward recipe. We begin by making 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 the sauce, which is what gives this recipe its unique taste profile. Among the ingredients, there’s sweet chili sauce. I prefer using my homemade version, and here’s the link to get it… Sweet Chili Sauce
 
After the sauce is done, we move on to the meat. I season the chops with only freshly ground mixed peppercorns… no salt! Why? Because there’s a fair amount 🧂 in the soy sauce, even if it’s low-sodium, and quite a bit in the ponzu sauce. If you want to add some, go ahead.
 
The chops are seared in canola oil. I use this type of oil because it’s flavorless and odorless, plus it has a high smoke point 🔥 (around 400ºF/200ºC). It makes it ideal for searing, pan-frying, and deep-frying. If you want more info about different types of oils and their smoke points, here’s a great link… Know Your Oils and Their Smoke Points
 
Searing goes pretty fast – maybe 3 minutes ⏳ per side. They won’t be fully cooked, and it’s fine as they will cook more later. Just as the late chef Anne Burrell often mentioned, “brown food tastes good”, so the sides of the loin chops have to be seared too, which takes maybe 1 to 1:30 minutes.
 
What makes these Sweet Chili Ginger Pork Loin Chops is the sauce!
While the meat is resting on a plate, the sauce is cooked for just a couple of minutes at the most or until it thickens. The chops are returned to the skillet, basted 🥄 with the sauce, flipped and basted a few times, and cooked until they reach between 140º to 145ºF… maybe 2 to 3 minutes.
 
Quick and easy to make, this Sweet Chili Ginger Pork Loin Chops recipe is simply fabulous! Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, these are served with white rice 🍚 and some steamed vegetables such as broccolini or bok choy. This is a lovely recipe to make often…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
