Sliced pork grill with ginger sauce

This recipe is known as 'Shouga-yaki' in Japan. 'Shouga' means ginger and 'Yaki' means grill. We don't usually use corn flour to coat pork in this dish. However, I like using it as it makes meat soft and juicy. In the whole process, pork should be cooked quickly in high heat in order to avoid it getting hard and chewy. Prepare lettuce, cabbage or some greens with this dish, which matches well with the rich taste of meat. You can also grill some vegetables to enjoy a healthy meal!




What you need today.....     (serves: 2)
  300g-350g pork shoulder, sliced 4-5mm thick
  Corn flour for coating
  1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  4 tbsp soy sauce
  2 tbsp white sugar, sake and mirin
  1.5 tsp ginger, grated
  2 eggs, poached
  Some greens to garnish


     1. Mix soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.

     2. Coat pork with corn flour lightly. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan in high heat and cook pork quickly both side.

     3. Add the sauce in the pan and cook until the sauce gets thick and coat the meat.

     4. Turn off the heat and serve it with some salad, steamed rice and poached eggs if you want.
