2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)

1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (60 ml)

2 tablespoonsketo-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit blend, approximately 24g)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)

1 tablespoon ginger, minced (about 6g)

2 cloves garlic, minced (about 6g)

1 teaspoon sesame oil (5 ml)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, about 0.5g)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

Preparing the Marinade

    1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or coconut aminos),keto-friendly sweetener, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).

    2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

      Marinating the Pork Chops

    3. Place the pork chops in a resealable bag or a shallow dish.

    4. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.

    5. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.

      Cooking the Pork Chops

    6. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    7. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.

    8. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.

    9. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet.

    10. Bring the marinade to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

    11. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Turn the chops halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking andcaramelization.

    12. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

      Pro Tip:

      For extracaramelization, remove the pork chops from the skillet after they are cooked through. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly into a glaze. Pour the glaze over the pork chops before serving. This step intensifies thesweet and savoryflavors and creates a beautiful glossy finish.

      Enjoy a healthier, happier life with the simple goodness of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
