My friend Wendy introduced me to Honey Garlic Pork Chops at an amazing Chinese restaurant in town, Sea Garden. They are absolutely so delicious--I had to come home and try to recreate them. This is as close as I can get.

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

1

lb pork, pieces sliced 1/4-inch thick (from loin, chops, etc.)
2 -3

tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 ¹⁄₂

cups honey
¹⁄₂

teaspoon red pepper flakes, more to taste
salt
pepper
2

tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in a large (twelve to fourteen inch) heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
When oil is hot, add pork pieces, being careful not to crowd. (If skillet is too crowded, it won't cook properly. Split the pork into two batches, if needed. There should be space between the pieces, so that liquid can evaporate).
While cooking, season pork with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Saute pork, turning occasionally, until pork pieces are nicely browned and turning crisp on all sides.
Add garlic and continue to stir until fragrant, approximately one or two minutes.
(If the pork was split into batches, combine the cooked meat and garlic before going to next step).
Turn heat down to medium; add honey to pork.
Stir well, continue to cook for two to three more minues until honey has coated pork well and has slightly thickened (and darkened).
Enjoy!
