Asian Apricot Glazed Pork Loin Chops


This recipe is based on one that was from my grandmother's handwritten recipe note-cards. Over the years i've played with it and ended up with this asian-inspired version.

Steps


Chop onion.
Mix together the 1 / 4 tsp of salt , pepper , onion powder , garlic powder and the ginger.
Season loin chops with the spice mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat , and add the 2 tbs of oil.
Brown the onion and the loin chops for approximately 5 minutes per side.
Mix together all the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
When loin chops are browned on both sides , add the sauce mixture.
Simmer on medium-low heat for approximately 15-20 minutes , until pork is done to an internal temperature of 170 degrees and sauce is reduced and thickened.
Taste sauce and add more pepper or soy sauce to taste , if desired.
Serve over steamed white rice.
