Favorite Pork Chops

1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water

In a blender or food processor, combine the soy sauce, green pepper, brown sugar, onion, ginger and garlic; cover and process until smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons for sauce. Pour the remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container. Add pork chops and turn to coat. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard the marinade. Grill the pork chops, covered, over medium-hot heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160-170 degrees.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water and reserved soy sauce mixture; stir until smooth. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over chops.

Yield: 4 servings.
