    I love this unique marinade for Mongolian Pork Chops that has been an everyday dinner in my house for years. It is served with grilled peppers, zucchini and steamed rice plus Lemony Hummus. It may sound unusual but that is what fusion food is all about and the whole combination is amazing.

    Asian Pantry Ingredients

    As with most things in the kitchen the trick to making it seem easy is organization and preparation. A well stocked Asian pantry can be started simple and expanded as you discover new ingredients and recipes you love.

    The marinade for this recipe includes Chinese Black Bean Sauce. A gluten free version wasn't available to me so I dug out this old recipe and made it. The Chinese black beans are in my pantry and I try to keep a jar of black bean sauce in my fridge.

    With a house rule to always use a clean utensil in the jar this sauce will last for two months in the fridge. Be sure to label it because over time everything with soy sauce looks the same.

    The Chinese black beans can be found online or in Asian grocery stores. This is the only brand I have ever bought. Learn more about this ingredient in my post, Fermented Chinese Black Beans.

    Prep Once, Eat Twice

    This recipe makes a large amount of marinade but I like that. I know it will make two meals or more for me so I plan for that when I make it. Half the marinade goes on my pork chops for dinner and then I do one of two things with the other half.

    • Pour the remaining marinade over more pork chops and put that container right into the freezer. The chops will marinate as they freeze and again when they thaw giving me another delicious meal sometime in the weeks ahead. The best part is opening the freezer and finding that meal ready to go.
    • If I'm not that organized I simply pour half the marinade into a jar, label it and put it in the fridge. That label also serves as a reminder to make this dish for dinner.

    Let me know in the comments below if you have some tips for freezer management or what you like to find in the freezer.

    Ingredients
      

    MARINADE

    • 1 cup gluten free soy sauce
    • ½ cup white wine vinegar
    • 6 tablespoon sugar
    • 6 tablespoon sesame oil
    • ¼ cup finely chopped garlic
    • ¼ cup minced green onions or chives from the garden
    • 1½ tablespoon gluten free Chinese Black Bean Sauce*
    • 2 teaspoon chile flakes

    PORK

    • 8 pork chops, bone-in or boneless (or 12 lamb chops)

    Instructions
     

    • Combine all marinade ingredients in a jar and stir. Divide marinade to reserve half for a second use.
    • Put pork chops in a glass baking dish just big enough to hold the meat. Pour marinade over the pork chops and turn. Let marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
    • Preheat barbecue. Remove chops from marinade allowing most of the liquid to drip off before putting them on the grill.
    • Cook chops to desired doneness, 5-6 minutes per side.

    Notes

    For a delicious fusion meal serve with grilled red peppers, zucchini and steamed rice plus lemony hummus. Unique and delicious!
    *Gluten free Chinese Black Bean Sauce (click to go to the recipe) was hard to find when I started gluten free so I pulled out my old recipe that I hadn't made in awhile. All I had to do was switch to gluten free soy sauce and now I've got a black bean sauce to use in many different recipes.
