Ingredients
-
1 pound thin, boneless pork chops, trimmed
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
-
½ cup sesame seeds
-
2 tablespoons peanut oil
-
3 tablespoons apricot jam
-
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari or reduced-sodium soy sauce
-
Sliced scallions for garnish
Directions
-
Sprinkle pork with salt and white pepper. Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish and dredge the pork in them, pressing to help them adhere.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes total.
-
Meanwhile, combine jam and tamari (or soy sauce) in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until darkened and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pork with the sauce, garnished with scallions, if desired.
