Very good dish. I roasted some frozen oriental stir fry vegies instead of just broccoli. Served with rice as well. I saw another review that used a bit of sesame oil, I may try that next time.

Loved this recipe, I thought the pork tasted perfect but instead of steaming the broccoli I made the recipe for "crispy baked broccoli" on the stove instead of the oven and cooked some brown rice. In addition I forgot to add the cilantro on top of the pork but it didn't need it.

I added just a little sesame oil in the marinade and cut back a bit on the canola oil. I also added some mushrooms to the fry pan and served the pork chops with riced cauliflower. Excellent and would make again.
