01
Prepare the Marinade
Start by mixing the soy sauce and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl, then heat it in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Once it’s warm, stir in the chopped onion, sesame seeds, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create your marinade.
02
Marinate Pork Slices
Slice the pork into thin cutlets, about a quarter-inch thick, and lay them out in a dish or pan. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure each piece is coated well. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours to let the flavors soak in — overnight is even better, especially if your slices are a bit thicker.
03
Preheat Oven and Arrange Cutlets
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the pork cutlets in a single layer on a nonstick, oven-safe pan. Keep the leftover marinade aside for later.
04
Bake Pork to Temperature
Bake the pork until it’s cooked through; it should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, take it out of the oven.
05
Warm and Drizzle Sauce
Finally, heat the reserved marinade in the microwave for a couple of minutes until it starts to bubble, then drizzle it over the cooked pork before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish brings together tender, juicy pork ribs with a rich and flavorful homemade sauce. The balance of sweet and savory makes every bite satisfying. It’s a great way to enjoy a classic favorite with a personal touch.
How to serve
Pair the ribs with steamed rice or a fresh green salad to balance the rich flavors. Grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes also make great sides. A cold drink like iced tea or a light beer complements the meal well.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the ribs tender. You can also freeze the ribs and sauce separately for up to 2 months.
