Mix together 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme in a separate container.

Liberally season both sides of the pork chops with the seasoning mix.

Set the seasoned pork chops aside and wash your hands.

In a mixing bowl, combine about 1/2 cup honey, crushed garlic from 6 cloves, and grate in a knob of ginger.

Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce to the mixture and whisk to combine.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet until scorching hot.

Add the pork chops to the skillet and brown on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each until they develop color.

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the sauce over the pork chops.

Cover the skillet and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F, tenting with foil if needed to keep warm.

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a platter.

Increase the heat and reduce the sauce in the skillet by at least half until it thickens and becomes gooey.

Drizzle the thickened sauce over the pork chops and reserve some for dipping.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
