Asian Sesame Pork Chops
Pinterest Hidden Image

In one of my previous blogs in 2016, I mentioned that I find pork chops on the “boring” side. I like pork, don’t get me wrong but this particular cut of meat is okay, nothing to rave about! The good thing about this is I have to create recipes so that my taste buds are satisfied.
 
The Asian Sesame Pork Chops recipe I’m sharing with you in this episode is so yummy! The process of marinating the chops starts either the night before or early that morning so by dinner time, you have a tasty dish to enjoy. It’s just what comfort food should be… simple and delicious!
 
The other plus for this recipe is that with the marinade you end up having a delicious gravy as well. What I like to do is to add a few sliced mushrooms and cook it down until the gravy thickens. After that, you pour this yummy gravy all over my Mixed Mashed Potatoes… OMG!
 
So now you have some flavorful pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy on top of both… it can’t get better than that for a weeknight dinner. Of course, don’t forget to add some fresh veggies to complete this tasty Asian Sesame Pork Chops meal like Quick & Easy Sautéed Broccolini, Roasted Rainbow Carrots or Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions!
 
Although I enjoy this dish during weeknights, there’s nothing stopping you from serving it to your guests. These Asian Sesame Pork Chops are so tasty, you’ll see just how much you and your family enjoy them…
Bon Appétit!
