20 min Shogayaki ginger pork recipe
I like this recipe because it’s quick, simple, and you don’t even need to prep the meat beforehand. While some people prefer to marinate the pork for half an hour, you can skip this step and start cooking right away. Because the sauce is so flavorful, the marinade is unnecessary. The sauces help the pork to brown and caramelize, which makes it even more delicious.
