· 1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
· ½ tsp ground ginger

In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk cornstarch into the water and whisk into brown sugar mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until bubbling and thickened. Grill chops on lightly oiled grill, brushing often with brown sugar glaze, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until meat thermometer inserted sideways into the centre of each chop reads 155-160ºF (68-71ºC).
