Shogayaki

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 shogayaki recipe goes well with potato salad and is perfect for lunch or dinner.

This recipe makes about 2 servings

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
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cabbage – shredded (optional)
