Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a tender pork chop, its surface adorned with a delicate, crisp coating of toasted sesame seeds. As you take your first bite, the nutty aroma of the sesame fills your senses, complementing the savory flavor of the pork.

The contrast between the crunchy sesame crust and the juicy, yielding pork inside is a textural delight that keeps you coming back for more. This dish is more than just a main course; it's an experience. Envision a vibrant bed of fresh greens, lightly dressed with a fragrant mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and the subtle bite of green onions.

The ginger and garlic provide aromatic and delicious elements to the overall flavor profile. Consider serving this dish with a side of steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful dressing from the greens. Alternatively, roasted vegetables such as broccoli or asparagus would make a delicious and nutritious accompaniment.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize the meal to your liking. But no matter how you choose to serve it, this sesame-crusted pork chop dish is sure to be a hit.

Instructions

    1.
    Lay out 4 boneless pork chops and sprinkle salt, pepper, the first amount of ginger, and onion powder on both sides.
    2.
    Rub 1 teaspoon of the first amount of olive oil into both sides of the pork chops. Pour sesame seeds onto a plate and press each side of the pork chops into the seeds, ensuring they are fully coated.
    3.
    Heat the remaining amount of the first olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the pork chops in the oil, cover the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the seeds turn golden brown and aromatic.
    4.
    Flip the pork chops and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes uncovered, until both sides are golden brown.
    5.
    Remove the pork chops and set aside to rest. In a bowl, whisk together the final amount of olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and green onion to create the dressing.
    6.
    Roughly chop or tear the romaine and arugula and combine the greens. Toss the greens with the dressing.
    7.
    Serve each plate with approximately ¾ oz of salad and 1 pork chop. Drizzle any extra dressing over the pork chops.
