If you google search images of “shogayaki” or “ginger pork”, the majority of them are accompanied by shredded cabbage. I find that pork loin is a bit on the dry side when cooked compared with the pork neck.Īs you can see in the photo, quite a large amount of shredded cabbage is placed next to the ginger pork. Jamie Oliver certainly has a steak recipe with this cut. Pork neck is usually used for stewing or roasting but I think this cut is great for steak as well. But in this recipe I used pork neck (collar). Most ginger pork uses thinly sliced pork loin and I have certainly used this cut in the past. But many recipes on the internet don’t marinate the meat before cooking and I think that this could be skipped if preferred. This is to remove the meat smell as well as tenderizing the meat. I do, however, marinate the pork slices with some sake (Japanese rice wine) and ginger juice for a short while. The sauce has a strong flavour and the pork is thinly sliced so I don’t think it is necessary to marinate the pork slices in the sauce before cooking them. In some recipes, the pork is marinated in the ginger sauce before sautéing but I don’t do that. In my household, shogayaki was always made without onions. Another method of making ginger pork is to use sliced bite sized pieces of pork and sliced onions. My ginger pork recipe is simply sliced meat with ginger flavoured sauce. But I think that pork is best suited for the ginger flavour and that’s why shogayaki is almost equal to pork shogayaki these days. This is because theoretically speaking, shogayaki could be made with other meat such as sliced beef or chicken. So I could have called this dish simply “shogayaki” but I added the word “pork” in my title to qualify the type of meat. In Japan, if you mention “shogayaki”, people will think of pork shogayaki. Ginger is shoga (生姜) in Japanese and the word “ yaki” (焼き) means grill or sauté. The sauce has a lightly sweet soy sauce flavour with a good amount of grated ginger in it. All you need to do is cook pork slices and coat them in ginger sauce. It is excellent for a weekday dinner with a bowl of rice. It is a quick and easy dish – it literally takes less than 10 minutes to cook! It is one of the most popular recipes on the lunch menu as well as the bento box (Japanese lunch box). Pork s hogayaki (生姜焼き, ginger pork) is a thinly sliced sautéed pork full of ginger flavour, which makes the sauce so tasty.
