Pot Sticker Pork Chops

6 pork chops (totalling about 2 lbs)

Marinade:
1/3 c soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Marinade overnight - or longer if possible

Remove meat from marinade (reserving marinade).  In a 12 inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil over medium high heat for 1 minute.  Add chops.  Cook about 5 minutes per side or until pork is no longer pink (160 degrees)

Remove chops from skillet. 

Add reserved marinade to the skillet.  Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes or until mixture is reduced to about 3 tablespoons. 

Spoon reduced soy sauce mixture over chops, serve immediately. 

Serve with sesame noodles or just some steamed rice. 

Feeling spicy?:  Add some onion, green peppers to the skillet before reducing the marinade.
