  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 pounds pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 zucchinis, thickly sliced
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, cubed
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 stalk celery, thinly sliced
  1. Mix together 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, paprika, cinnamon, orange zest, cloves, and cardamom in a bowl to form a paste and rub the pork chops with the spice paste.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large deep skillet and pan-fry the chops over high heat until browned and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes per side. Pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce and coat the chops with soy sauce. Pour in honey, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, and water; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat to medium.
  3. Stir in zucchinis, carrots, onion, green bell pepper, and celery; cook and stir vegetables until cooked through but still slightly firm, about 10 more minutes.
