    These spicy pork chops are an easy, flavorful main course. The blend of spices is sweet and warm, and the flavors really get down into the scored pork. I like the addition of sliced green onions at the end, as it gives it a fresh, oniony bite at the end. They probably aren't a recipe I'd make again, but they were good.

    Vietnamese-Spiced Pork Chops
    Cooking Light October 2003

    Smooth this sweet-hot rub into the scored surface of the chops. Serve with rice.

    Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop)

    4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about ½ inch thick)
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 teaspoons paprika
    2 teaspoons ground coriander
    ¾ teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1 tablespoon bottled minced ginger
    2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
    Cooking spray
    Sliced green onions (optional)

    Lightly score a diamond pattern on both sides of pork. Combine sugar and next 6 ingredients (sugar through garlic); rub evenly over pork.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
