From my last visit to the Pork Butcher, I bought a pork shoulder roast that I was going to cook in a crock pot but later on changed my mind. See, I bought a bottle of Miso dressing that I thought would be a great use for marinating. So I sliced part of the shoulder roast in cutlets and marinated them in a miso-ginger marinade that I mixed with other ingredients.
INGREDIENTS :
pork cutlets
1 and 1/2 cups of miso dressing
3 tbsp of soy sauce
a small piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 tbsp of honey
sprinkle of red pepper flakes
