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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork to the pan, tossing it gently in the sauce to coat all the slices evenly.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the pork to a serving dish. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Shogayaki hot alongside steamed rice and your choice of vegetables or salad.
