Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Thinly sliced pork loin
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 tablespoon Cooking sake
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Steamed rice (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved to create the marinade and sauce.
Place the thinly sliced pork loin in a shallow dish or bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the pork slices and mix gently to coat evenly. Let the pork marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork slices to the pan in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Sear the pork for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked pork from the pan and set aside on a plate.
After all the pork is cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the pan. Let it simmer for about 1 minute until slightly thickened and reduced.
Return the cooked pork to the pan, tossing it gently in the sauce to coat all the slices evenly.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the pork to a serving dish. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve the Shogayaki hot alongside steamed rice and your choice of vegetables or salad.
