Pork Shogayaki is a savory and slightly sweet Japanese dish featuring tender pork marinated in ginger and soy sauce, served sizzling with a side of steamed rice. This high-protein meal is not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin - 300 grams
• Fresh ginger - 2 tablespoons, grated
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Mirin - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped

• Cooked white rice - 200 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 5 mm thick.
2. In a bowl, combine grated ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to create the marinade.
3. Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
5. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and add it to the pan.
