  2. Pour in the soy sauce, vegetable oil, vinegar and 1/4 cup water. Pulse to break everything down and then process for about 30 seconds, until all the big chunks are gone.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.Prepare an outdoor grill to cook direct over medium heat. Using cooking gloves to handle the pork, pull each chop out of the paste and place it directly on the grill grate, keeping as much paste on the chop as possible. Discard the remaining paste. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the chops are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 150°F.
  4. Transfer them to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
