Pork Chops in a Garlic and Ginger Sauce
I made this easy recipe for pork chops in a garlic and ginger sauce for friends last night and it turned out great. The sauce has a sweet and salty combination that I love and it’s an easy meal to make with just a bit of prep work. These pork chops paired nicely with a spinach salad with soy ginger dressing and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

How to Make Pork Chops in a Garlic and Ginger Sauce

Made this sauce tonight to go with thin cut pork chops. I added a bit of lemon juice in 1 for with half of the soy sauce.
Might be my new go to to brighten up a fall or winter meal.
