Soooooo good! I made this and my husband and I loved it. My son, who doesn't usually like meat said it was good and ate it before he ate anything else. I took it to work for leftovers and people kept stopping in my office to find out what smelled so great. This is a definite keeper! :) One thing I did differently was after I removed the meat from the marinade I put the leftover marinade in a small pan, added a couple tablespoons of sesame oil and reduced it to make a sauce to drizzle or dip (which was also good on the zucchini we had with it)

This made the best and the most tender pork chops I've ever tasted! I added fresh minced ginger to both the marinade and the glaze for added flavor. For my daughter's 40th birthday (with a houseful for dinner) I butterflied a boneless pork loin roast and marinated it for three days and it was wonderful! This is a keeper!

These turned out amazing! I used boneless chops as opposed to bone-in. I also used low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular because that was all I had; and I added a dash of chili powder to the glaze just to give it a little kick. My husband was impressed and can't wait for me to make these again. He had two helpings! I served the chops with green beans and macaroni & cheese. Very very good!
