Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops Recipe
A vegan version of Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops—rich, sticky, and full of sweet-savory magic in every glossy bite.
Ingredients
Method
- Prep the “Pork”: Toss seitan or tofu in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Sear Like a Pro: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each side for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and chili flakes.
- Simmer the Sauce: Pour the glaze into the pan. Let it bubble for a minute, then stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken.
- Coat to Perfection: Add the “pork” back in. Toss gently until each piece shines like edible gold.
- Serve & Shine: Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Pair with jasmine rice or roasted veggies for that restaurant flair.
