In Japan, Shogayaki – ginger pork, was voted the number 1 food that goes well with white rice! For me, it’s always shogayaki vs nikujaga. The key to this shogayaki recipe, is using fresh grated ginger. I use the Japanese Style Grater to grate the ginger. It creates more juice. Also, I use kurobuta (berkshire pork). I like to make a little extra sauce to pour over the rice and shredded cabbage. This recipe goes well with potato salad and is perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

8 oz sliced pork (about 225g)
1/4 small onion (sliced thinly)
2 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sake
4 tablespoon water
1/4 cabbage – shredded (optional)

Makes 2 Servings

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Shred Cabbage with slicer. Put cabbage in a bowl of cold water until ready to use.

Step 2: Grate ginger and slice onion.

Step 3: Combine grated ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and sake in a bowl.

Step 4: Cook pork on high heat. When it’s 80% cooked, add onions and Sauté.

Step 5: Add the ginger sauce. Let the alcohol (sake) in the sauce evaporate over high heat and then add 4 tablespoons of water. Let it simmer for a minute and continue Sautéing.

Step 6: Serve Shogayaki with rice and shredded cabbage.
