Ingredients:

1 pound pork, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons canola oil

Instructions:

Step	Description
1	Combine soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a bowl. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, and mirin until well combined. This flavorful marinade will be the key to infusing your pork slices with deliciousness!
2	Marinate the pork slices. Add the thinly sliced pork to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated. Allow the pork to marinate for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
3	Heat oil in a skillet. While the pork is marinating, heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is nice and hot before adding the pork slices.
4	Sear the pork slices. Once the skillet is hot, carefully remove the pork slices from the marinade, reserving the excess marinade for later use. Place the pork slices in the hot skillet and cook quickly over high heat, allowing them to sear and develop a delicious golden-brown crust. Be sure to work quickly to avoid overcooking the meat.
5	Add reserved marinade to the pan. After the pork slices are nicely seared on both sides, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Give everything a quick stir to coat the pork slices in the flavorful sauce.
6	Serve and enjoy! Once the pork is cooked through and coated in the delicious sauce, it’s ready to be served. Transfer the Japanese Ginger Pork to a serving platter and garnish with some sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor. Serve alongside steamed cabbage, your favorite vegetables, and Japanese rice for a complete and satisfying meal!

Note: Marinated meat can burn easily, so it’s important to work quickly and keep an eye on it while cooking.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can whip up this Japanese Ginger Pork (Shogayaki) in no time, making it the perfect option for a quick and flavorful dinner any night of the week!
