Getting the girls to eat anything other then pasta with butter, mac & cheese, or pizza is usually a challenge. I usually have to add some type of fun twist to the meal. When I made this Soy Ginger Pork Chop for them they devoured it, which rarely happens, so I thought it would be good to share. When I have made it in the past I usually just throw together the ingredients but I measured it out when I made it the other day.
Ingredients:
- 4 thinly cut pork chops (about 1 lb) *Whole Foods has thick ones so I ask the butcher to cut them in 1/2
- 2-4 TBS low sodium Soy Sauce (I love soy sauce, so I always use a lot, just use enough to coat pork chops on both sides)
- 2 TBS No Pulp Orange Juice
- Fresh Ginger, zest amount to taste, I always use a lot
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- Optional: Wasabi to taste if you want to add spice, but I leave it out of the girls
- Rice (I used Seeds of Change Quinoa and Whole Grain Rice)
- Edamame
Directions:
- Mix Soy Sauce, Orange Juice, Ginger, Garlic and *Wasabi* together in a small bowl.
- Place Pork Chops in a storage container or zip lock back, I used tupperware.
- Evenly distribute mixture over both sides of the pork chops. I flip the pork chops in the mixture to evenly coat. Add more ingredients if wanted or needed. I add more ginger on top of each chop.
- Let Pork Chops for a couple hours.
- Add a little olive oil to a pan, heat, and cook pork chops through
- Serve with Rice and Edamame
- I used FunBites CubeIt to cute the girls pork chops.
Disclaimer: I am not a professional chef, I enjoy cooking and baking with the girls. I also like trying new things and throwing ingredients together to make new meals. Try at your own risk, but I hope you enjoy 🙂
