Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet.

Step 2

Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add pork to the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until each side is nice and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In a large measuring cup combine soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and only the pineapple juice (reserve the slices for later). Set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the large skillet. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour in the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the pork back to the sauce.

Step 6

In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and water.

Step 7

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir.

Step 8

Add in the reserved pineapple slices and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened and pork reaches 145 degrees. The thin pork do not take very long.

Step 9

Serve immediately with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
