The dish is typically grilled to perfection, resulting in a crispy and smoky exterior, while maintaining a juicy and tender center.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
- 4 pieces of mochi (Japanese rice cakes)
- 2 tablespoons of salt
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt and ground black pepper to create your seasoning mix.
- Rub the pork chops on both sides with the seasoning mix, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the pork chops to marinate for about 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- While the pork is marinating, lightly brush the mochi with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Once the grill or grill pan is hot, place the seasoned pork chops on the grates. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- While the pork chops are grilling, place the mochi on the grill as well. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they become slightly crispy and golden brown.
- Once the pork chops and mochi are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the Echigo Mochi Pork Salt and Pepper Grilled by placing a piece of mochi on top of each pork chop. You can garnish the dish with some fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
