Hoisin-Glazed Pork Chops
with Sesame Slaw Salad
- Sesame
- Soy
- Wheat
One of our favorite ways to add tons of flavor to any protein in mere minutes? Whipping up a delectable glaze. Here, we blend savory-sweet hoisin sauce with sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, and scallions, then spoon the mixture over pork chops just before serving. It’s paired with a crunchy, savory sesame slaw-style salad, and garnished with a zippy shower of crisp scallion greens. Now THAT’S what we call a winning dinner idea!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop leaves.
• In a large bowl, combine cabbage and carrot mix, half the scallion greens, half the dressing (you’ll use the rest later), and ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings); toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), hoisin, vinegar, and half the sesame oil (all for 4). Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season lightly with pepper.
• Add lettuce and remaining dressing to bowl with cabbage and carrot mixture; toss to combine.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and salad between plates. Spoon pan sauce over top; garnish with remaining scallion greens and serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Really liked the flavor of sauce for the pork chops and the sesame slaw mix was awesome. A new favorite meal!
The flavor of the hoisin sauce was just a tad strong. I think it may have had just a little bit too much vinegar in it? Not quite sure. Good overall, though. The salad was very yummy!!
This was really delicious, but I did use my own Hoisin sauce and make my own Sesame dressing. However, it really did not seem like enough salad for four people.
This needed a bit more of the dressing for the slaw salad. It ended up being a bit dry. The dressing is delicious, there just wasn't enough for how much salad there was. Possibly more red cabbage too.
Loved that the meal was salad and meat. The dressing was delicious, the sauce on the pork chop was divine. Good meal on this one!
This was original and delicious! However, I didn't think assiduously sugar was needed, as the hoisin sauce was already plenty sweet. Would love more lower calorie meals with lots of veggies
This was really good! Loved having a salad as the side, instead of a hot side. Porkchop and salad went great together and were very tasty!
The sauce is the Boss with this recipe! I rubbed the chops with Chinese 5spice to add some kick and air fried the Thai Basil chicken spring rolls as a side...dip them in the pan sauce, OMGosh! Quick,simple and delicious.
So much delicious salad! I paired this with the spring rolls because I sliced the pork real thin and made it a full salad.
Would have preferred a vegetable also. The meal did not fill me up. Salad was okay, but I needed a little more food. Loved the pork chop. It was great.
