These chops use a modified sweet/sour sauce that will make your taste buds sing with joy. Plus it’s so much tastier than the store-bought kind.
That, and some good chops are all you need to bring this dish together in record time.
So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How to Make Asian Influence Pork Chops in a Kicking Sauce
- 1PREP/PREPARE
- 2Gather your ingredients.
- 3Add the pineapple juice, applesauce, vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and tamari sauce to a saucepan over medium heat.
- 4Chef’s Note: I have a friend that chefs at an Asian restaurant in London, and they substitute part of the pineapple juice with applesauce. This will thicken the sauce without the use of a cornstarch slurry; in addition, the applesauce compliments the pork.
- 5Stir, and bring the sauce up to a simmer, and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
- 6Stir in the carrots, plus the bell pepper and pineapple chunks
- 7Remove from the heat and reserve.
- 8Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
- 9Add the grapeseed oil to an ovenproof skillet, over medium heat.
- 10Season the chops with a bit of salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet.
- 11Brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- 12Remove from the heat, and cover the chops with the sauce.
- 13Cover the skillet, and place into the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chops are finished cooking, and the veggies are still crisp.
- 14PLATE/PRESENT
- 15Add a chop to a plate with your favorite sides (I like long-grain white rice), and drizzle with the sauce. Enjoy.
- 16Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
