    Maple Mustard Pork Chops

    October 19, 2022 by Marc Matsumoto 2 Comments

    Maple Mustard Glazed Pork Chops from above.

    All credit for this ridiculously tasty idea goes to my co-host on Bento Expo, Maki Ogawa. If you haven't seen it, Maki, and I show each other how to make a bento, and then we taste each other's bentos on the show. The tasting scenes are usually shot after lunch, so I'll usually only have a few bites while we shoot. I can only think of a handful of times I finished my plate, but this was one of them.

    The garlic-infused pork chop is pretty fantastic on its own, but the glaze takes this dish into another realm of tasty. The closest thing I can compare it to is honey mustard, but the maple syrup and whole grain mustard level it up. But I think the soy sauce makes this such a game-changer. Put together with the pork, it tastes like a Japanese version of an excellent BBQ pork chop.

      Made this again tonight; so good! This time, after glazing the pork, I added apple chunks to the pan and cooked them until they were tender. They made a delicious and easy side. Tomorrow the pork is going in a bento with rice and gorgonzola walnut coleslaw.

        Great idea adding apples! Pork + Apples is one of my favorite combinations! Also love the sound of your gorgonzola walnut coleslaw👍🏼

    I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
