About This Dish:
Here is another comfort dish for many Japanese people. Every Japanese family has their own distinct recipe for this dish. Depending on which area the family is originally from this dish may taste very strong, or some families may keep it simple. Either way, I can confidently say that every family cherishes this dish! It's simple to make, but so fulfilling and delicious! This recipe is one which is simple, easy to make and has a strong taste. Feel free to experiment!

What You Need:
(Serves 3-4 people)
  • 300-400g or a little less than 1 pound of thin sliced pork (You could also use pork cut into small cubes, it's all your preference. Most families use thin sliced pork)
  • 1/2 large onion 
  • A tiny bit of all-purpose flour

For the sauce
  • 1 slice of ginger or 2 tbsp of grated ginger
  • 4 tbsp of soy sauce (preferably Japanese soy sauce of course)
  • 4 tbsp of Japanese sake or regular white wine
  • 2 tbsp of Japanese mirin

1. Sprinkle a little bit of flour onto your meat before cooking it. This helps to contain the deliciousness of the meat prior to cooking it.

4. Add the onions once the meat changes color.

2. Slice up the onions. You don't have to cup them up too small, we want to be able to taste it and savor it.

5. Mix up the ingredients for the sauce and pour it into the pan.

3. Cook the pork on a pan. Try not to use oil here, especially if you have a non-stick pan.

6. Cook it for a few more minutes until the sauce becomes thick. 

Note: 
  • I try to use pork belly instead of pork loin. Pork belly tastes good as it is, whereas pork loin should be marinated before hand for a better taste.
  • This dish is usually eaten with rice and a side of raw thin sliced cabbage! I usually put Japanese mayo on the side. Mmm!
