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.

Usually when I go grocery shopping, 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 pork was so incredibly tender and tasty. Which was why I used the drippings from sautéing the pork in the ginger glaze I whipped up to toss the pork in.
This ginger pork can be served with some steamed veggies or this spicy saute of chickpeas, sweet potato, and spinach.

This really is an easy and delightful recipe. So full of flavor. I didn’t have the red wine vinegar so I just used chicken broth. Thank you!
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.
I’d double or triple the recipe for the sauce as it’s not much once everything is cooked.
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
Yum! This looks SO good. Now I want pork for dinner! 🙂 Really good recipe — thanks.
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.
This recipe was so easy to make, and I loved the kick it had from the chili and ginger! So good!

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!
The glaze is the absolute best part of this recipe – sticky and delicious!
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 ginger glaze on these pork chops really makes them pop! They look so beautiful and juicy! A great fall meal!
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.
