Notes
The hoisin sauce is a blend of wine, orange juice, and soy sauce. Once combined, add brown sugar, ginger, and garlic, and simmer for two minutes. Half of the sauce is used to glaze the pork, while the rest is served as a side dish. The glaze can be poured over the pork chops to serve as an accompaniment. It's great to serve with cold sesame noodles.
