This was a very good recipe. The pork chops (1 inch, center cut, bone-in) were perfect after 20 minutes, basted every 5 minutes. As the other reviewer here noted, the vegetables are very saucy. I was able to double the pak choi, and add a couple of extra scallions and a large bell pepper without adjusting the other proportions, and there was still plenty of sauce to drizzle over the chops and rice. I also substituted 1 tbs. of chili infused oil for 1 tbs. of the peanut oil, and added a little extra ginger and 1 tsp. of dried red pepper flakes to give the sauce a little extra kick. Thanks so much for posting!
