Baked Panko Teriyaki Pork Chops. Not fried! Crispy baked, juicy pork chops served with an easy but very flavourful teriyaki sauce. Delicious served with your favourite noodles.
I’ve tried many online recipes for homemade teriyaki sauce and none of them really hit the right balance for my taste. So, I decided to try to come up with one of my own for these teriyaki pork chops.
In general I have found them too intensely flavoured, too salty, or including ingredients that are not readily available.
Here, I’ve developed my own version which I tweak to suit different applications. The recipe, as written, makes a great straight forward sauce for serving over noodles and salmon or as a dip.
If it is not intense enough for your taste, simply reduce the amount of water in the recipe. By reducing the water by half, the sauce makes a delicious glaze to toss with fried chicken wings or to brush on meats on the grill.
With so many different meal possibilities, you will find yourself returning to this recipe again and again.

- Coat the pork chops in the flour, then dip them in the egg wash and finally coat with the panko crumbs.
- Place the prepared chops on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and drizzle another couple of tablespoons of oil over the top of the chops.(an oil spray bottle is ideal for this if you have one.)
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes, flip the chops and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork chops. Use a meat thermometer to get an internal temperature of around 150 - 160 degrees F.

I made this meal tonight, and it was absolutely stellar. My pork didn't crisp quite as nicely as it did in your photo, but it was very moist. The teriyaki sauce was fabulous! I sautéed a few veggies to add to the noodles as well. Such a pleasurable meal.
A question though: how long would you say the teriyaki sauce would keep in the fridge? Do you think it would hold up to freezing?
