Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons ginger grated, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 200 gram (⅖ pounds) pork thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ginger sauce by peeling and grating the ginger. In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger and its juice with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Stir well and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Then, pour the ginger sauce over the meat.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, give the meat a quick stir, and bring it to a simmer. Once the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through, turn off the heat and transfer the pork to a plate.
  4. Serve immediately with freshly shredded lettuce and tomato, if desired.

Notes

  • Using the right cut of meat, including thinly sliced pork belly and pork loin, works best for the dish. 
  • Grating fresh ginger will give the dish a stronger flavor and aroma than using ginger powder.
  • Do not overcook the meat. Stir-fry the pork slices over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes to sear the meat and keep it juicy. Do not overcook the pork, as it will become tough and dry.
