Japanese Ginger Pork
Report
I use loin meat from a wild hog here, but obviously store-bought pork is fine, too. I like shiitake mushrooms, but you can use any meaty mushroom. Or skip them, since they are not traditional in shogayaki.

Ingredients
- A 4-inch piece of ginger, peeled
- 1 to 2 pounds pork loin
- salt
- 1/2 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons rice bran, canola or grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons mirin, Japanese sweetened rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 pound Shiitake mushrooms
Instructions
- Slice the ginger into pieces that will fit into a garlic press and squeeze out the juices until you get to 2 to 3 tablespoons. Alternately, you can extract the juices with a microplane grater or Japanese ginger grater.
- Slice the pork loin against the grain into medallions. Put the medallions between two pieces of plastic wrap, and, using a rubber mallet, meat mallet or empty wine bottle, pound the cutlets to about 1/4 inch thick. Salt them.
- Salt the cutlets, then dust them in the rice flour. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sauté the pork loins. Sear for 2 minutes on the first side, then turn and lower the heat to medium and finish cooking to your liking, generally another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the cutlets and put them in an oven set to "warm."
- Add the sake, mirin, soy sauce and ginger juice to the frying pan and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms and boil furiously for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Take the pork cutlets out and slice them, giving everyone some. Pour the sauce and mushrooms over the pork and serve.
