This dish from chef Dalia David is precisely the type of easy yet satisfying dish we crave during “shoulder season,” when warmer weather condition beckons but a chill still awaits the air. The hoisin-and-balsamic glaze– energized with butter, toasted sesame oil, gochujang, garlic, and onion– completely envelops the chops with abundant flavor and lots of umami. Cooking down the leftover marinade and including it back into the last dish makes sure no taste goes to lose. Given the high salt content in both hoisin and gochujang, extra salt most likely will not be needed.
