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.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced pork to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the pork is lightly browned and cooked through.
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.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the pork to a serving plate.
7. Optional: Slice the green onions and scatter them over the pork for garnish.
8. Serve immediately with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
