Ginger Pork (Shogayaki)
Thin slices of pork seared until golden and coated in a bright, ginger-forward sauce that balances savory soy, sweet mirin, and a touch of acidity. Quick to make and deeply flavorful, it’s ideal over rice with crisp shredded cabbage on the side.

2 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sake
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 stalk scallion, thinly sliced
2 cup cabbage, thinly shredded
1 slice lemon
