I received boneless pork chops as a grocery substitution. Any suggestions?

Since I currently don’t have a car, I rely on grocery delivery. Whole Foods only gave me a 3-minute window to decide on a substitution. Originally, I had ordered 3 pounds of spicy Korean pork bulgogi, which I planned to cook with garlic, sliced onions, green onions, and white rice. Now, I’m left with boneless pork chops and I’m not quite sure what to do with them since I’ve never cooked them before.

I’m feeling a bit lazy today, so I’m wondering: what’s the difference between searing them in a hot pan versus baking them? Which method tends to taste better? Should I still include garlic and onions for flavor? I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

    No worries, boneless pork chops are pretty versatile and can be delicious! Here are a few tips for cooking them:

    1. Cooking Method: If you’re feeling lazy, baking is a great option! It’s less hands-on than searing. However, searing in a hot pan can give you a nice crust and add extra flavor. You could even sear them briefly for color and then finish cooking in the oven if you want to combine both methods.

    2. Seasoning: Definitely use garlic and onions for aromatics! You can sauté them in the pan if you’re searing, or add them to the baking dish if you go that route. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes can elevate the flavor too.

    3. Cooking Time: If baking, preheat your oven to around 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, but check for doneness—they should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety. If you’re searing, cook them on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

    4. Optional Additions: Consider adding a bit of soy sauce or any other preferred marinade if you want to replicate some of that Korean flavor. You can also top them with green onions after cooking for a fresh finish.

    5. Serving: Serve alongside white rice as planned, and if you have any veggies on hand, you could sauté them with the onions for a balanced meal.

    Enjoy your cooking!
