Preparation

Step 1

Sauce:
In dry skillet, toast five-spice powder over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in 1/4 cup water, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, garlic and ginger; stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Pork Chops:
In large bowl, combine pork, 1 tsp of the oil and the salt. In separate bowl, toss plums with remaining oil. Place pork and plums on grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning pork once, until instant-read thermometer inserted sideways in center of pork reads 155F, and plums are grill-marked on all sides, about 8 minutes.

Drizzle pork and plums with sauce; garnish with green onions. Serve with rice.
