Description
This is one of my favorite marinades to use for grilled pork chops. I usually just throw ingredients as I see fit, so the measurements are estimates. The roasted red chili paste can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store.
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon roasted red chili paste
- 6 (1-inch thick) pork chops
Instructions
- Place the soy sauce
- brown sugar
- garlic
- ginger
- cumin
- and chili paste in a large
- heavy plastic zipper bag. Smush the bag a few times with your fingers to mix all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the brown sugar; place the pork chops into the marinade
- and seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat
- and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade
- and discard the marinade. Shake off excess marinade
- and grill the pork chops until browned
- the meat is no longer pink inside
- and the chops show good grill marks
- 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
