Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Grate 2 inches ginger. Squeeze out the ginger juice and add it to a bowl or tray for marinating the pork. Set aside 1 tsp grated ginger to use later.
- To the ginger juice, add 1 Tbsp sake and ½ Tbsp soy sauce. Then, add ½ lb thinly sliced pork loin.
- Flip and coat the pork with the marinade. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the seasonings: 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sake, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp miso, and 1 tsp sugar.
- Add 1 tsp grated ginger and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the meat in a single layer and allow it to sear. For an even sear, it's best not to touch or move the meat around.
- Flip the meat and cook the other side until it is no longer pink. Then, add the seasonings mixture to the pan.
- Coat the meat with the sauce using a spoon. Flip once to make sure the meat is seasoned on both sides.
- Serve immediately. If you'd like, shred ¼ head green cabbage and slice ¼ Japanese or Persian cucumber and divide, along with 6 cherry tomatoes, onto individual plates of Miso Ginger Pork. Serve it with a salad dressing of your choice, such as Japanese Sesame Dressing.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for a month.
