- Heat the olive oil and butter in a frypan over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper then place in the frypan in the hot oil; cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes more.
- Remove pork chops from the frypan and set aside. Add the sliced onion to the frypan; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and soju, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the frypan. Simmer until liquid as reduced, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle the sauce over the pork chops for serving.

The flavour itself was rather good and the Soju and lemon went really with well with the onions. However, I found that it didn't yield as much sauce as I would have expected. Definitely worth a shot and very filling. - 17 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Really enjoyed this recipe! The onions were the highlight of the dish and as mentioned before the flavors go really well together. I upped the amount of Soju, onion, and lemon juice to make sure there was plenty to go around. My boyfriend is half Korean so there is always a bottle of Soju sitting around. Glad to finally have a great use for it! - 12 Jan 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
