Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chicken broth until well combined. If you like a bit of spice, add the red pepper flakes.
2. Arrange Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in the slow cooker, ensuring they are in a single layer. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork chops, making sure they are well-coated.
3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked.
4. Optional Thickening: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the slurry to the slow cooker and stir well. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened.
5. Serve: Once done, carefully remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
