This turned out better than expected. I was going to make grilled pork chops marinated in a coffee-molasses sauce, but I forgot to brew the coffee for it since I had to take our kitten to the vet. In short, I threw this together.
All I did was take my bone-in pork chops, poured some soy sauce over the top, sprinkled some powdered ginger, and then added some sesame seeds to make a crust. I would have added a touch of wasabi paste before putting on the sesame seeds, but Will thought it might be too much.
I served it with a salad. I was going to add mashed potatoes, but realized the pork would be cold if I did that.
It turned out to be just right; the sesame seeds provided a nice crunch and were nice and toasted, and the ginger was not overpowering. Will and I rarely finish a full piece of meat, but both of us cleaned our plates. The sauce I made tastes comparable to one of the dipping sauces from Beni Hana. This sauce is surprisingly versatile. It would taste good on chicken and shrimp as well as tofu.
