Miso Ginger Pork

The typical Ginger pork, or Shogayaki in Japanese, is composed of thinly sliced pork (pork loin cut) sautéed with ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and sake. It is one of my favorite go-to dishes as I love the combination of all these flavors. It is also super easy to pull together, guaranteed to hit the dinner table in about 15 minutes.

6. And add 1 tsp grated ginger and mix well. Set aside.
7. Heat the oil in the large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add and sear the meat in a single layer. To give a nice even sear, it’s best not to touch or move the meat around.
