Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 4 to 6 baby bok choy, halved lengthwise (about 1 pound)

Method

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Stir together the soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, vinegar, grated ginger and grated garlic in a small bowl.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons for the vegetables and then stir in the hoisin sauce.
  • Set half aside for serving with the cooked pork chops and stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
  • Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper for all 4 chops.
  • Place the pork chops and onions on a lightly oiled grill.
  • Grill until the pork chops are just slightly pink near the bone, 6 minutes on the first side and 4 to 5 minutes on the second side.
  • Grill the onions until they are soft.
  • Start brushing both the pork and the onions with the hoisin sauce mixture about halfway through grilling.
  • Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes and the onions to a bowl.
  • Put the bok choy in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave until the center core has softened and can easily be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Season the bok choy with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Add to the bowl with the onions and gently toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons ginger sauce.
  • Serve the pork chops with the grilled vegetables and the reserved hoisin sauce mixture on the side.
