Ingredients
    1 teaspoon dry ginger powder (or use 3 teaspoons fresh minced ginger, or to taste)
    2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
    1/2 cup sherry wine
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    1 tablespoon orange rind
    1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
    1 large green onion (sliced into 4 large pieces)
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    4 large pork chops
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    2 tablespoons cold water
Preparation
    Pierce small holes in both sides or the pork chops.
    In a bowl stir together the sherry, honey, soy sauce, sesame seeds, orange peel, hot pepper sauce, ginger, garlic and black pepper.
    Pour about 1/2 cup marinade into a small bowl; set aside.
    Pour the remaining marinade (with green onion pieces) into a large resealable bag; add in the pork chops.
    Seal the bag and turn to coat.
    Refrigerate for 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
    When ready to grill, in a small saucepan combine the cornstarch with water until smooth; add in the reserved 1/2 cup marinade; bring to a boil and cook for about 1 minute, or until thickened.
    Drain and discard the marinade from the pork.
    Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
    Heat grill to medium heat and grill the chops about 4 minutes.
    Turn the chops and baste with a small amount sauce; grill for about 15-20 minutes longer, or until the chops are cooked through, basting again towards the end of cooking.
    Serve any remaining sauce with the chops.
    Delicious!
