A delightful Asian-inspired dish featuring tender pork chops glazed with a flavorful sauce, paired with steamed bok choy and fluffy rice.
Mix the plum sauce, soy sauce, and five-spice powder in a shallow dish.
Ensure the marinade is well mixed to evenly coat the pork chops.
Place the pork chops in the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Let them sit for 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, you can marinate the pork chops overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Lining the dish with parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
Place the marinated pork chops in the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, basting with the marinade every 10 minutes.
Basting helps keep the pork chops moist and flavorful.
Steam the bok choy for 2 minutes or until it turns bright green.
Avoid overcooking the bok choy to maintain its crisp texture.
Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
Fluff the rice with a fork after cooking for the best texture.
Serve the pork chops with the steamed bok choy and rice, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
