This Asian-inspired pork chops recipe features one of my favorite marinades to use for grilled meat. I usually just throw in 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
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon roasted red chili paste
- 6 porks chops , 1-inch thick
- cooking spray
Instructions
-
1
Place soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cumin, and red chili paste in a large, heavy resealable plastic bag. Smash the bag a few times with your fingers to mix all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the brown sugar.
-
2
Place pork chops into the marinade and seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
-
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
4
Remove pork chops from marinade; discard marinade. Shake off excess marinade and grill pork chops until browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes per side. The chops should show good grill marks and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Awesome Sweet Potato Casserole
Diane Thornton gave me this awesome sweet potato casserole recipe in the late 1980s in Jackson, Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings, people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a dessert than a side dish. All I know is it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.
Banana Peanut Butter Cheesecake aka "The Elvis"
This banana peanut butter cheesecake, aka "The Elvis," is a combination of some of my favorite cheesecake recipes. I took this to work, and it lasted 30 minutes. The professional baker I work with called this cake "restaurant quality." I highly recommend a chocolate ganache (8 ounces semisweet chocolate combined with ½ cup hot cream) spread over the top to finish it before serving! Garnish the side of the cake with toasted coconut if desired.
