👩🍳 Instructions

3. Load the slow cooker
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker
- Pour glaze evenly over them
4. Slow cook
- Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or
- HIGH for 3–4 hours
- Pork should be tender and fully cooked
5. Thicken the sauce (optional but recommended)
- Remove pork chops
- Pour sauce into a small pot
- Add cornstarch slurry and simmer until glossy
6. Serve

- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables
🍯 Flavor tips
- Add pineapple chunks for a tropical twist
- Add chili flakes for sweet-spicy glaze
- Sear pork chops before slow cooking for deeper flavor
🧠 Why it works
Slow cooking breaks down the pork so it becomes tender while the honey-soy glaze turns rich and sticky over time.
If you want, I can also make a Korean-style version, a diet/low-sugar version, or an air fryer quick version.
