Prep
- Pork chops - Combine five spice, sugar (portion for pork), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Rub pork chops on all sides with spice mix and tenderize with a fork. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
- Pan sauce - Peel and grate ginger. Combine ginger, water, vinegar, miso, sesame oil, and sugar (portion or sauce). Puree sauce with an immersion or standing blender until smooth. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Broccoli / Garlic - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Make
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then place pork chops on heated oil. Sear on each side for ~3 minutes. For thin pork chops, this should be enough heat to cook them through. If you’re using thicker pork chops, lower heat and cover with a piece of foil until pork reaches 145F (63C) degrees. When done, let pork rest, covered for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Return skillet to heat and add the ginger miso sauce to hot pan. Stir, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the sauce thickens a bit, ~2 minutes. Turn off the heat under the pan.
- While pork rests, heat a wok or a second skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil for broccoli. When oil begins to shimmer, add broccoli and a tablespoon of water (for 4 servings, adjust accordingly) and stir-fry until bright green and tender, ~5 minutes. Add garlic, cashews, sesame seeds, and Tamari and stir-fry until garlic is fragrant, ~1 minute more.
- Slice pork and serve with ginger miso pan sauce over top and broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
