Ginger-Soy Kurobuta Pork Chops

By: Liz Moore

Kurobuta pork chops have a rich flavor all by themselves, but when you add the classic combination of ginger, soy and garlic the result is a savory and satisifying dish with an Asian flair.

This marinade is excellent for the grill, but works fine for pan seared chops. Go ahead and increase the amount of red pepper if you like your chops a bit spicier.
