Ingredients

Sauce

1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Pork

2 lbs. thin boneless pork chops
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2-4 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings

3 green onions minced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

First, prepare the honey garlic sauce. Add the honey, soy sauce, chili sauce, and rice vinegar into a bowl and whisk all the ingredients together until the honey dissolves into the sauce. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the corn starch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Next, thin the pork chops into 2 and 3-inch long strips that are about 1/2 inch thick.
Toss each pork strip in the corn starch mixture so that each piece of pork is covered.
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil.
When olive oil is fragrant, add one layer of pork strips to the pan. Be sure not to crowd the pan, depending on the size of the pan, you may need to cook the pork in two batches.
Sear the pork strips for 2-3 minutes on the first side and then remove the pork from the pan and place it on a plate (the pork will be cooked more later).
Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all of the pork is seared on one side.
Place all pork back into the skillet and then add the honey garlic sauce to the pan.
Bring the sauce to simmer over medium heat, stirring periodically. Let the sauce simmer with the pork for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat, toss the pork, and sprinkle the pork with green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve alone, with rice, or with a vegetable side dish.
