Servings: 2

Ingredients

Steamed rice
2 cups
Green onions
2, thinly sliced
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Sugar
1 teaspoon
Mirin
2 tablespoons
Soy sauce
3 tablespoons
Ginger
1 tablespoon, freshly grated
Pork loin
500 grams, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the freshly grated ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Add the thinly sliced pork loin to the marinade, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork slices, laying them flat in the skillet. Discard any remaining marinade.
  5. Cook the pork slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
  6. Add the thinly sliced green onions to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, allowing them to soften and release their aroma.
  7. To serve, create a bed of steamed rice on a plate, top it with the ginger pork stir-fry, and garnish with extra green onions if desired. Enjoy your homemade Shogayaki!
