These were very tasty; I did with chips and green veg
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
- salt and pepper
- 4 thin pork loin chops
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple slices (including the liquid), divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon root ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- chopped parsley for garnish, if desired
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet.
- Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add pork to the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until each side is nice and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In a large measuring cup combine soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and only the pineapple juice (reserve the slices for later). Set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the large skillet. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.
- Pour in the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the pork back to the sauce.
- In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and water.
- Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir.
- Add in the reserved pineapple slices and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened and pork reaches 145 degrees. Thin pork does not take very long too cook.
- Serve immediately with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
