Ginger Pork is called “Shogayaki” in Japanese. It means to grill with ginger. It is a standard meal to cook in the home. In Japan you can find shogayaki in a Teishoku-ya (similar to an American diner). The typical way to make Shogayaki is to marinate the pork in the spices before cooking, but a famous TV host named ‘Tamori’ started a the trend of not marinating the pork and now many Japanese cook it in this fashion.

What kind brand of Sake do you use for cooking?
It’s supposed to be soft so you can bite into it easily. If you use thinly sliced pork, it wont be hard or rubbery. Asian supermarkets typically sell sliced pork packs.
I usually use think sliced loin pork.
thank u :)
one question though. how ‘hard’ is the pork supposed to be after cooked? like is it really flabby or..chewy.. or steak-like..or liquid-y?
mine turned out a bit tough (like a steak but thinner) n from ru pic it looks like its soft? im sorry i feel like im nto wording what i want to say properly ._.
I usually buy sliced pork, about 1/4 inch thickness. However, the thickness shouldn’t matter, just be careful not to burn it. And for the other ingredients, keep stirring so they don’t burn. Medium heat is fine for every step, just make sure, like anything else, to keep an eye on it and adjust the time if it is cooking too fast, or reduce the heat. I’m happy to answer your questions anytime. Thanks for supporting the blog!
i made it!
it was quite good for a first try for sure..my family LOVED it..my mother asked me to teach her even :D
i had some problems though..mine didn’t look like ur picture x]
what heat did u make this in? my onion got really shriveled n black n small x__x
n my pork might have been too thick…how thin/small are the slices? mine turned out really flat like a much thinner version of a steak o.O
also for me my final didn’t look as…light &liquid-y as the picture..but that’s probably because i had higher heat n evaporated it o.O
but nontheless it TASTED REALLY GREAT! i’m trying it out again today! i just can’t get enough of it *–*
sorry my comment is way too long =_=
