Miso Ginger Pork

Ingredients

• ½ lb thinly sliced pork loin (227 g)
• 1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)

Marinade

• 2 inch ginger (5 cm)(Separate juice and grated ginger)
• 1 Tbsp sake
• ½ Tbsp soy sauce

Seasonings

• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sake
• 1 Tbsp mirin
• 1 Tbsp miso ((I used Hikari Miso® Organic White Miso)
• 1 tsp sugar

To Serve (Optional)

• ¼ cabbage (small cabbage head)
• ¼ cucumber
• 6 cherry tomatoes

Instructions

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Grate ginger and squeeze the juice out. Save 1 tsp grated ginger for later use. Put only ginger juice in a container that you will marinate the pork with.
3. Add 1 Tbsp sake and ½ Tbsp soy sauce. Then add the sliced pork.
4. Flip and coat the pork with the marinade. Set aside.
5. In a small bowl, combine ingredients for the seasoning: 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sake, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp miso, and 1 tsp sugar.
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.
8. Flip the meat and cook the other side until no longer pink. Then add the seasonings.
9. Coat the meat with sauce using a spoon and flip once to make sure the meat is seasoned on both sides. Serve immediately.
