Very tasty and quick. I didn't have any beef broth so I used chicken. Loved the sauce. Will definitely make it again.

This is our favorite pork chop recipe -- sweet with a kick. I usually double the sauce to spoon over mashed potatoes. A must-try!

our dd "hates pork chops" but after clearing her plate informed me if you make these again I'll keep right on eating. These were excellent.

Excellent recipe. Lots of flavor. I worry about recipes that call for sugar because I hate sweet meat but this is perfect. Definately will make again!

Surprisingly tasty. Doubled the sauce but not the pepper flakes as my husband doesn't like spicey food to much. As I had no pork chops at home I made it with chicken and used low sodium chicken broth instead of beef broth. The soya sauce I used was also low sodium. Turned out really well.

I doubled the sauce ingredients, so we had plenty to serve over rice. We liked the heat from the red pepper flakes.

I've used this recipe two times - the second time, I doubled the ingredients for the sauce. It's so flavorful, we wanted more! Yum!

Very good. Looking forward to having it again.

I was surprised how good the sauce tasted. I thought it might be too salty because of the soy sauce, but with the brown sugar and red pepper flakes it was very good. I will definately make it again.
