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.

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.

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.
