There is something about it that makes the taste very special. Perhaps it’s the perfect balance of sweet, pungent, savory, salty and tangy notes. Or the Asian-inspired flavors that are bold and big. Using dark soy sauce is key in this recipe. Dark soy sauce has a deeper color, flavor and more body. It’s less salty and can be used in relatively greater quantities. You can get it from most grocery stores or from Amazon.
Pork chops made with this marinade are out of bounds. There is plenty of flavor in every bite. This is the kind of a pork chop you just want to keep eating. If pressed for time, you can easily get away with 30 minutes of marination time and still get a pretty tasty chop. But if you let the meat marinate at least overnight, you will be rewarded with mind-blowingly intense, deep and complex flavors, and tender and juicy meat. What I do is I marinate pork chops the night before, at my convenience, then grill the next day whenever I am ready. If you are not ready to grill the next day and want to keep the pork chops in the fridge a little longer, that’s totally fine.
I’ve marinated pork chops with this marinade for as long as 72 hours and did not notice any adverse effect. Pork chops are best to cook fast over high heat. This way they won’t dry out before they cook through. Since this grilled pork chop marinade is sweet, you want to keep the temperature at about medium-high to prevent burning. As well, make sure to flip the meat frequently while grilling. Pork chops need to get to at least 145F internal temperature to be safe to eat. Since lean pork loin meat gets dry and chalky pretty quickly, try not to overcook them.
