Soy Sauce Marinated Pork Chops on Spring Greens

This is a recipe I tore out of a magazine last summer.  I finally tried it this summer.  It makes a delicious healthy fast meal.

Soy Sauce Marinated Pork Chops on Spring Greens

Ingredients:

4   6-7 oz. bone in pork chops, trimmed, about 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 -3 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
4 cups mixed spring greens
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Place chops in a 3 qt. rectangular baking dish.  In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, oil, vinegar, ginger, and crushed red pepper.  Spoon 2 Tbsp. mixture over the chops.  Turn to coat.  Cover.  Let stand 20 minutes at room temperature, turning occasionally.

In small saucepan bring remaining soy sauce mixture to boiling.  Boil gently 1 to 2 minutes or until reduced to about 1/4 cup; set aside.

For a charcoal or gas grill, place chops on grill rack.  Cover; grill over medium heat 3 minutes per side or until chops are slightly pink in the center (145 degrees) turning once.

Place greens on serving platter.  Top with chops.  Drizzle with boiled soy sauce mixture.  Sprinkle with cilantro.
