Japanese Ginger Pork

Simple to prepare and very simple to eat, Ginger pork should fit right into the easy cooking category of any household’s recipe file.

Ingredients

Enough pork to feed the household, thin (6mm) loin cut up into bite size pieces

1 teaspoon of ginger juice (squeezed out of half a grated knob of ginger)

2 teaspoons of sake

1 tablespoon of frying oil

The sauce:

1 tablespoon sake

1/2 tablespoon of sugar

2 teaspoons of soy

1/2 tablespoon of mirin

1 grated knob ginger

Marinate the pork in the ginger juice and sake while you get everything else ready

Mix all of the sauce ingredients and put them aside

Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan.

Cook the pork on both sides in a single layer.

Drop the cooked pork on a bowl of rice with some salad vegetables and dribble the sauce over the lot.

Even if you stuff around a lot, I don’t think you could take longer than half an hour to get this on the table (as long as someone puts on the rice in advance).  Its fast, it tastes good and the ginger makes your kitchen smell great.
