Pork chops coated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce make for a quick and delicious weeknight meal. I like to serve these with an asian slaw.

Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce gluten-free full sodium will be too salty, or coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit granulated, or stevia, to taste, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger finely grated
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional
Pork Chops
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or oil of choice
- 1 pound pork chops 2 chops
- salt and pepper to taste
- furikake for garnish, optional
Asian Slaw
- 1 cup broccoli slaw
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit granulated, or stevia, to taste, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise optional, omit if you don’t like a creamy slaw
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, monk fruit, ginger, garlic, vinegar and xanthan gum. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the monk fruit has dissolved, and the sauce is thickened, a couple of minutes. Set aside.
- Season the chops with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and when hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork chops and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then turn and cook again, until browned, another 5 minutes or until 145ºF. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- While the pork cooks, stir together all slaw ingredients. Set aside.
- Slice pork and toss in the sauce. Serve with a side of slaw. Garnish with furikake, if desired.

I also like to make this for a protein sparing modified fast by using boneless chops and removing any fat. Then cook sous vide at 140ºF for one hour before slicing and tossing with the sauce. For more details on cooking pork chops sous vide, check out Serious Eats.
