Korean Glazed Pork Chops
These spicy-sweet pork chops are neither dry nor flavorless! They’re loaded with flavor from a zippy Korean marinade of soy sauce, Korean gochujang chili paste, garlic, ginger, honey and sesame oil. You can marinate them for a quick 20 minutes — or a few hours to really let the flavors meld.

Korean Glazed Pork Chops
Prep Time30 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time16 Minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Korean gochujang
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 thick-cut, boneless pork chops
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, fresh ginger, garlic, honey, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Place pork chops in a shallow dish and pour about ¾ of the marinade over them. Make sure the marinade coats the pork chops. Reserve the remaining marinade.
- Let the pork chops sit in marinade for at least 20 minutes.
- Once the pork chops are marinated, preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Place your marinated pork chops on the grill and grill for 6 minutes on the first side. Flip, and then grill for 6-8 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145-160 F for medium-rare to well-done pork chops. I cooked mine to 155 F, as I prefer them without any pink in the middle. The cooking time will vary, depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
- Serve brushed with remaining glaze.
