Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Boneless pork chops – I like to use thick cut chops that are 3/4 to an inch thick. If the chops are too thin, they may become tough. can be substituted with bone-in pork chops, a one-pound pork tenderloin, or boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.

Cooking time may increase for bone-in pork chops and may decrease if you make this recipe with chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 degrees f.

Fresh garlic cloves can be substituted with 1/4 teaspoon per clove of garlic powder or 1/2 teaspoon per garlic clove of minced garlic in a jar.

Tamari Sauce – soy sauce and coconut aminos are very similar in flavor and are interchangeable in most recipes.

Tamari sauce is gluten-free and has a richer flavor than soy sauce. Coconut aminos are soy-free and gluten-free with a lighter flavor.

If you don’t have tamari sauce you can use an equal amount of either soy sauce or coconut aminos.

Fresh ginger can be replaced with 1/8 teaspoon of ground-dried ginger. Please note that the ginger flavor if you use dried ginger will not be as vibrant.

If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in water or chicken broth to thin it out.
