Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil
200 gram (⅖ pounds) thinly sliced pork

Instructions

Prepare the ginger sauce in a small bowl by peeling off the skin and grating it with a grater. Combine well the grated ginger including the ginger juice with soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Stir well and set it aside.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add pork slices, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the meat is no longer pink. Then, pour the ginger sauce over the meat.
Lower the heat to medium, give the meat a quick stir, and bring it to a simmer. Once the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through, turn off the heat and transfer to a plate.
Sever immediately with freshly shredded lettuce and tomato if desired.

Notes

Tips:

Using the right cut of meat, including thinly sliced pork belly and pork loin works best for the dish.
Grating fresh ginger will give the dish a stronger flavor and aroma than using ginger powder.
Do Not Overcook the meat. Stir-fry the pork slices for 1 to 2 minutes over high heat to sear the meat and keep it juicy. Do not overcook the pork as it will become tough and dry.
