Ginger pork bowl.

A rough transcription from notes jotted down by Mieko to help me with work in the kitchen during her care.

Ingredients

Rice
enough cooked rice
Meat
200g or so pork, sliced very thin
Sauce
thumb-size ginger, freshly grated
4 tbsp white wine
2½ tbsp mirin
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp water

Preparation

Mix the sauce ingredients together. Marinate the meat in the sauce for 20 minutes or so, then remove the meat slices from the sauce, cook them in a fry pan, remove them from the pan and set aside.

Pour the sauce into the fry pan and cook briefly (when it comes to a boil it’s done). Serve meat slices over rice, and add some of the sauce for zest.

(The leftover sauce is a delicious addition to yaki-udon, so package it up and freeze it for later use.)
