Divide among 6 little bowls and set aside.For the marinade, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, shallot, and salt in a large bowl. Add the pork chops and toss to coat completely. Let rest covered at room temperature for 2 hours, turning a few times.
Combine the honey and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place 2 nonstick skillets, large enough to hold 3 pork chops each, over medium heat.
