Asian Pork Chops Skillet Meal
I love the flavors of Asian pork chops. In fact, I love the flavors of Asian food. I love being able to make a recipe like this at home because ordering out gets expensive fast. I also like making it at home because I am in control of what is in the recipe. With this Asian pork loin recipe, I know exactly what is in it and that means, I know exactly what I am feeding my family. This is great when we are trying to create healthy eating habits.
Why Use Pork Loin in this Asian Pork Loin Recipe
Whenever we want pork chops, I buy a pork loin instead. The last time I priced it, pork chops were $3.99 a pound and the tenderloin was $1.89 a pound. That is a significant difference. Also, the loin has less fat on it so it means that I spend less time trimming the meat. I am also not paying for things that I am throwing away.

I love a good cast iron skillet meal. I am always looking for meals that are easy to make and dinner is easier when it is made in one pan. In the past, we have shared a few skillet meals, like Cajun Pork Skillet Meal and Autumn Vegetables and Pasta Skillet Meal. We even make an Easy Skillet Frittata that is a low-cost dinner as well as an easy skillet meal.When we are running around like crazy, I need something that is going to be easy to cook, won’t take a long time, and won’t make a lot of dishes for me to clean up afterwards.
