Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the sugar, grated ginger, sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved to create the sauce.

    Advice : Mixing the sauce ingredients beforehand allows you to season the dish quickly and evenly while cooking.

    Ingredients
    Sugar 1 tsp
    Grated ginger 1 tbsp
    Sake 1.5 tbsp
    Mirin 1.5 tbsp
    Soy sauce 1.5 tbsp
  2. 2

    Thinly slice the onion into 5mm pieces. It is recommended to slice across the grain for the best texture.

    Advice : Cutting against the grain helps the onion cook faster and brings out its natural sweetness.

    Ingredients
    Onion 1/2
  3. 3

    Lightly dust both sides of the pork slices with flour. Gently shake off any excess flour.

    Advice : Dusting with flour seals in the meat's juices and helps the sauce thicken and cling to the meat.

    Ingredients
    Pork leg (for Shogayaki) 236g
    Flour 1 tbsp
  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and pork. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the meat changes color.

    Advice : Spread the meat out so it doesn't overlap; this ensures even cooking and prevents the pork from becoming tough.

  5. 5

    Pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Simmer over high heat for about 1 minute, tossing frequently to coat everything evenly.

    Advice : Once the sauce has thickened and the meat has a nice glossy finish, remove from heat immediately and serve.
