Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon water
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 8 pork chops
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
• 2 bunches green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 0.25 cup oyster sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch, or as desired

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk together the oyster sauce, Dijon mustard, hoisin sauce, ginger, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl until combined; stir in the green onions. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the pork chops over the sauce in a single layer, and pour the remaining sauce over the chops, covering them completely.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink at the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste once or twice while baking.

Step 4

Whisk the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, and whisk the mixture into the pan juices. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve sauce with chops.

Step 5

Drain the liquid in the baking dish into a saucepan. Turn on the oven's broiler, and place the chops underneath the broiler until caramelized and brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
