Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 4 pieces (about 300g)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Hoisin sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the lamb chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
6. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
