Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Pork loin
• 1 Onion
• 3 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 2 tbsp Sake
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 3 cups Cabbage
• 1 tsp Sesame oil

Steps

1. Slice the pork loin paper-thin against the grain — partially freezing it 30 minutes makes this easy. Grate the ginger to a juicy pulp.
2. Marinate the pork in the soy, mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger 10 minutes. The ginger tenderizes as it flavors.
3. Sear the pork in a hot pan 2 minutes per side, then add the onion and the marinade; simmer 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze.
4. Serve over shredded cabbage with rice. The cabbage soaks up the ginger sauce and becomes the best part.
5. Weeknight royalty: fifteen minutes of cooking, and it tastes like someone tried much harder.
