Ingredients:
2 lbs bone-in pork chops (about 3 large or 4 medium chops)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pork:
Begin by placing the pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker. This ensures they will soak up all the flavors from the sauce while cooking.
2. Mix the Sauce:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, crushed garlic, minced ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3. Cook:
Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker. Make sure each chop is evenly coated with the sauce. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for about 5 hours, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
4. Serve:
When the pork chops are done, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and place them on a serving dish. Strain the cooking juices through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce slightly to thicken it. Drizzle this sauce over the pork chops for added flavor and moisture. Serve the pork chops on a bed of fluffy white rice to soak up all the delicious juices.
