This simple but delicious Japanese ginger pork (also known as Shogayaki), come together with only a handful of ingredients. Thinly sliced pork marinated in a sweet and savory aromatic gingery sauce and then quickly sautéed, this dish is so flavorful and easy to make for a weeknight dinner.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, pepper, sliced pork, and sliced onions. Mix well to combine and marinate the pork for 20 to 30 minutes.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and add up to half of the marinated mixture in a single layer.
Allow the pork to cook for a few seconds untouched before sauteing the meat. Let sit for another few seconds to allow the other side to sear.
Stir fry until the pork is no longer pink and transfer to a plate. Continue with the rest of the pork and oil. Keep the onions in the pan if you want them more caramelized.
