Ginger Pork - "Shogayaki"
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 10.6 oz pork sliced thinly to (⅛") thick
- 2 tbsp sake Japanese rice wine
- 1 tbsp ginger juice
- 1 tbsp oil
- 5.6 oz shredded cabbage
Shogayaki Sauce
- 2 tbsp sake
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
Instructions
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sake and 1 teaspoon of ginger juice over the pork slices, coat well, and leave for 10 minutes. This will tenderize the meat and removes the meaty smell.
- Mix shogayaki sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Heat oil in a non-stick (preferred) frying pan over medium high heat.
- Place the meat in the frying pan without overlapping (cook in batches if required) and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the bottom side is golden and the edges start to cook.
- Turn it over and cook further 1-2 minutes. If cooking in batches, transfer the cooked meat onto a plate and cook the remaining meat.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Return all the cooked meat to the frypan and add the shogayaki sauce to the pan.
- Cook for about 15-30 seconds, turning the pork slices over to ensure the meat is coated with the sauce. When the sauce is reduced to about 1-2 tablespoons, turn off the heat.
- Place the vegetables on one side of the plate. Place pork slices and pour the sauce in the frying pan over the pork.
Notes
Shortcut: If you don't want to make the shogayaki sauce yourself, just use our TonTon Teriyaki Sauce & add grated ginger. This will make it into Shogayaki sauce.
Shredded cabbage is always served with shogayaki. You can also add another vegetable of your choice to complete the plate or serve your ginger pork with just the cabbage.
