Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Set saute pan to medium/high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Salt and pepper the pork chops and then add them to the pan. Brown on both sides for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Put onto a sheet tray and put pork chops into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

While pork is in oven, keep the saute pan at medium/high heat and add the shallots, garlic and ginger. Saute for a couple of minutes, till the shallots are translucent.
