  • 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Combine 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 teaspoons honey into a smooth sauce.

  2. Pat 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork chops, thinly sliced dry, then season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the main ingredient until it reaches 145°F before resting; transfer to a plate.
