Directions

Marinate the pork chops

In a medium bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil.
Place pork chops in a 1-gallon resealable bag and pour in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.

Cook the pork chops

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Remove pork chops from the marinade and place them on a foil-lined tray.
Liberally brush leftover marinade on top of the chops. Discard remaining marinade.
Cook for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove from the air fryer and allow to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
