Shogayaki (Ginger Pork)

Thin slices of pork pan-fried with a savory ginger-soy sauce.

15 minutes
Serves 2
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, freshly grated ginger (include all the squeezed juice), sake, mirin, and sugar to make the shogayaki sauce.

  2. 2

    Lightly dredge the thin pork slices in a very fine dusting of all-purpose flour. This helps the meat brown and thickens the sauce later.

  3. 3

    Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan.

  4. 4

    Pan-fry for 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are nicely browned, then quickly flip the slices.

  5. 5

    Immediately pour the ginger sauce into the skillet. The liquid will sizzle and boil instantly.

  6. 6

    Toss the pork in the reducing sauce for 30-60 seconds until the meat is cooked through and heavily glazed in the shiny, aromatic sauce. Serve immediately overlapping a mountain of crisp shredded cabbage.
