I’ve partnered with Sprouts on this recipe for Ginger Glazed Pork. All opinions herein are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep this blog spinning.
This ginger glazed pork is such a quick and easy, one-pot recipe.
How to make this easy recipe?
I started off by sautéing the pork chops in a pan- no need to season them at this point.
Then I took the pork chops out of the pan and set them aside. I used the same pan with the pork drippings in it to make a super quick sauce with five ingredients you probably have lying around your kitchen.
What are the ingredients need to make this glazed pork recipe?
The 5 ingredients needed are:
• ginger,
• garlic,
• soy sauce (if you are gluten free, you can use GF tamari sauce instead)
• red wine vinegar, and
• chili flakes.
I placed the pork chops back into the pan and tossed them around so they were coated with the ginger glaze and then I let them hangout in that glaze for a few minutes before serving them.
The result was pork chops that were tender, juicy, salty, and spicy umami.
What do you pair these ginger glazed pork chops with?
With their spicy umami flavor, these pork chops pair well with:
- Broccoli kale salad
- Asparagus egg salad and turmeric tomatoes
- Charred zucchini salad
- Coconut Pumpkin pasta
- Coriander butternut squash pasta
- Coconut Curry Stir Fry
I found the pork chops I used in this recipe at Sprouts. I love shopping at Sprouts. Their veggies and fruits are always so fresh, there’s always healthy snacking options I find in their grocery aisles, and their chicken and fish always seem to taste so good.
Usually when I shop at Sprouts, I have a game plan. I grab some chicken and some shrimp, and then spend as much time as I can perusing the produce section, the frozen section, and the grocery aisles.
However, on my last trip to Sprouts, I was in the process of picking up some chicken when a customer and the butcher burst into laughter.
It was laughter that started in the belly, exploded out and just kept going and going until they were laughing so hard they were crying. That kind of laughter is like a yawn – highly contagious! Before I knew it, I was laughing too… and then I realized how awkward I was being and decided to bury my head in the meat shelves in the Sprouts Butcher section. It was then that I happened upon Sprouts Butcher Shop Pork.
This was my first time bringing home Sprouts’ pork. Like the air-chilled chicken, the marinated chicken, and shrimp, when cooked, Sprouts’ pork was so incredibly tender and tasty. One of the main reasons I used the drippings from sautéing the pork in the ginger glaze I whipped up to toss the pork in.
Raised by Midwest family farmers, Sprouts’ pork has no antibiotics or added hormones, ever. Just like the chicken and fish I find at Sprouts that keeps me coming back for more, Sprouts Butcher Shop Pork is so fresh – it helped me transform an everyday meal into something special in this Ginger glazed pork recipe.
Versatile and so fresh, Sprouts’ pork can be found in the pink packaging in the self-service meat case.

Yum! Love finding new recipes for pork chops! And the flavor combo in this recipe sounds delish, and looks like it is cooked to perfection.
I love the sound of the flavors in this – that glaze looks delicious! And I always seem to struggle a little with pork chops so great to have some more ideas.
The ginger glaze on these pork chops really makes them pop! They look so beautiful and juicy! A great fall meal!
I really wish we had Sprouts here on the east coast, sounds like such a great market! These chops look amazing – that sticky ginger glaze is calling my name!
The glaze is the absolute best part of this recipe – sticky and delicious!
Like Gina said, I really wish we had Sprouts up here in upstate New York! I had to laugh about your laughter run-in near the butcher counter. I can totally see that playing out in my mind. 🙂 Glad that led you to this fun recipe, though! That ginger glaze sounds fantastic, my friend!
This recipe was so easy to make, and I loved the kick it had from the chili and ginger! So good!

Normally I don’t eat pork often (As I love poultry and beef more), but hey these pork chops look and sound phenomenal, I must admit! I love this sticky aromatic glaze; ginger is a very nice touch.
Yum! This looks SO good. Now I want pork for dinner! 🙂 Really good recipe — thanks.
With all those aromatic flavours, garnish and perfectly cooked pork chops, I know this must taste amazing! Perfect dinner for tonight. Hope your week is going great, my friend 🙂 XO
I’d double or triple the recipe for the sauce as it’s not much once everything is cooked.
Nice, basic recipe, I’ll probably use it but I won’t be back to your website, those blue chair buttons on the left and right are too annoying. They cover up what I’m trying to read, and they’re covering up what I’m trying to write.
