Another Thai grilling classic, moo yang is usually made with fatty cuts of pork neck that are tenderized in a salty sweet sauce and then grilled over hot coals until smoky and charred.
My take is simpler but still captures that special Thai roadside barbecue taste. First, I tenderize thin pork chops by poking them all over with a fork, then I marinate them in a mixture of honey, oyster sauce, and other spices (they need at least 2 hours to tenderize and soak in the flavor).
Finally, I sear them under the broiler so they develop a brown crust while staying plump and juicy inside. Pick up the thinnest chops you can find—that’s very important, as they need to cook through under the broiler.

Who says you can't eat pizza for breakfast?
Falafel. Say it five times fast. But eat this sheet pan version only once, and you’ll be hooked.
Warning: Once you add bacon and ham to your split pea soup, there’s no turning back.
