Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pork loin (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, sake, grated ginger, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the pork in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Simmer the pork in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the pork.
