Ginger Pork

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb thinly sliced pork loin
• 1/4 onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil
• 1 green onion/scallion, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp mirin
• 2 Tbsp sake
• 1 tsp sugar

Directions

1. Set out all of your ingredients. Using a small bowl, grate the onion, garlic and ginger, then stir in the seasonings. For a slightly sweeter sauce, mix in 1 tsp. sugar, if you like.
2. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Warm the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, then arrange the pork in one flat layer, working in batches as needed.
3. Once the underside has browned, turn the pork over. Very thin slices cook fast, so watch them closely; you want the pork fully cooked, but not left in the pan so long that it turns tough.
4. As soon as the pork is cooked through, pour in the seasoning mixture and add the chopped scallion. Serve right away.
