    Enjoy my Tangerine Pork Chops for dinner tonight-

    I know it’s not easy coming up with creative new dishes for your families dinner table, and that’s why I keep cooking up deliciousness! Pork is still one of the most economical cuts of meat out there, and a little marinating goes a long way to help the flavor and add a little flare to a weeknight meal.

    Make your week night meals into an occasion with my Asian Inspired Tangerine Pork Chop Recipe.

    This post has been sponsored by Noble Juice and although this is a sponsored post all of the opinions are genuine and 100% my own.

    I’ve enjoyed a delicious partnership with my friends at Noble Juice in nearby Winter Haven. Creating fun new recipes using their naturally pure juices has been a lot of fun and certainly elevated the flavor profiles of the dishes I’ve created using their juices.

    Tangerine Pork Chops Prep

    Let’s gather our ingredients for this tasty pork dish together. Feel free to use pork tenderloin or bone in pork chops.

    Tangerine Pork Chops Prep

    Marinating the pork chops in a zip lock back makes life easy. I’m also going to be adding shitake mushrooms to my sauce as serving the pork with steamed broccoli and jasmine rice.

    I can see this marinade working really well with chicken. And if you’re not big on pan frying and would rather grill the meats that would work too. Remember that nothing is etched in stone and if you don’t like mushrooms or broccoli, come up with  your own favorite variation on this recipe.

    For an authentic Asian meal, Jasmine rice will complete the experience and really lends itself to absorbing the sauces you’ll create in Asian cooking.

      Excellent recipe! I was only able to get minneolas at the store and I used microbrewed soy sauce aged in bourbon barrels to take it to the next level! I reduced the salt a tad because it was not a light soy. The pork chops (boneless center cut) were perfectly seasoned, had an amazing crunch on the outside, but sooo buttery when cutting in to them. They tasted even better the next day. I loved the mushroom sauce! Only had regular baby bellas, and I doubled the batch for the leftover sauce. Thank you, Chef!
