Instructions
-
Preheat the Cooking Apparatus: Begin by preheating your broiler or preparing your outdoor grill, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
-
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine, and hoisin sauce. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a cohesive marinade that will infuse your pork chops with rich flavors.
-
Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops into a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over them. Ensure that each chop is well-coated with the marinade. For a quick infusion of flavor, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. For a deeper flavor profile, refrigerate the marinating chops for several hours or overnight if time permits.
-
Cook the Pork Chops: Once marinated, arrange the pork chops on the broiler rack or grill. Cook for at least 3 and a half minutes on one side before flipping them over. Continue cooking for another 3 and a half minutes or until they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C). The edges should be slightly charred, and the surface glossy from the marinade.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful. Serve them hot alongside steamed rice and a vegetable of your choice, such as sautéed greens or a crisp salad, to create a balanced and delicious meal.

These Marinated Broiled (or Grilled) Pork Chops are not only quick and easy to prepare but also bursting with flavor, making them a perfect choice for busy summer nights or spontaneous gatherings.
