Pork shogayaki
Pork Shogayaki is a dish in Japanese cuisine. Shōga means ginger, and yaki means grill or fry. It can also be made with beef, but the pork version is so much more popular that the term "shogayaki" generally refers only to pork in Japan. It is the second most popular Japanese pork dish after tonkatsu.
It consists of thin slices of lean pork, browned in the pan, and then briefly braised in a sauce of grated ginger, soy sauce and mirin. Grated onion and garlic can be added for the extra zest, and additional sugar is sometimes used to round out the taste.
Shogayaki is a common addition to bento boxes, as it can be eaten cold. However, it is more commonly served hot with rice and shredded cabbage.
