4 Pork Loin Chops boneless (about 1½ pound) - choose pork chops that are on the thicker side.
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Corn Starch
1 teaspoon Ginger Powder
1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Orange Marmalade
¼ cup Orange Juice fresh squeezed is preferred
¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper optional
2 tablespoons Canola Oil – or use your favorite oil that has a high smoke point

Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the salt and pepper.
Add the soy sauce and cornstarch to a jar or medium bowl. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved. Next, add the ginger powder, rice vinegar, orange marmalade, orange juice and the crushed red pepper, if using. Stir to mix the ingredients well.
Cook the pork chops
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the pork chops. Cook them for 3 minutes on each side to brown.
Lower the heat to medium-low, stir the prepared orange sauce well and add it to the skillet. Cover the skillet.
Continue to cook the chops for 3-5 minutes or until cooked through. Turn them occasionally to coat with the glaze. Make sure that the internal temperature of the thickest pork chop is at least 145°F.
Before serving, coat the pork chops with the glaze and drizzle a little on top once plated.
