Ginger pork is a culinary preparation that combines slices of pork with a ginger-based marinade.
Originally from China, this recipe has become a classic of Japanese cuisine.
There are several versions, with pork cut into strips or whole, covered in a tasty sauce.
This dish is often accompanied by plain rice and sliced cabbage seasoned with the cooking juices. Ginger adds a distinctive flavor to the dish.
Its popularity lies in its balance of flavours and simplicity of preparation.

Ingredients
- 300 g pork (loin or other part not too dry)
-
10 g ginger
- ¼ chopped cabbage
- Oil
- 2 tbsp. sake
-
4 tbsp. soy sauce
-
2 tbsp. mirin (or 1 to 2 tsp. sugar)
For the seasoning :
Instructions
Cut the pork into thin slices or strips for quick, even cooking.
Grate the fresh ginger and squeeze the pulp between your fingers to extract the juice. This releases the ginger's intense aromas.
In a bowl, mix the seasoning ingredients (soy sauce, sugar, mirin, etc.) and add the ginger juice to intensify the flavor.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the pork pieces until cooked through and lightly browned.
Once the pork is cooked, pour the seasoning into the pan. Heat for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly to coat the meat with the sauce.
To accompany, serve immediately with julienned cabbage or raw vegetables of your choice, such as grated carrots or thinly sliced cucumbers.
Recipe notes
Ginger pork is always served with minced cabbage in Japan, as the cooking juices also season the cabbage, but you can replace it with tomatoes, salad or raw vegetables of your choice.
LE MIRIN
It's a sweet rice wine. It's a key ingredient in Japanese cuisine! Its taste is similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content.
It is used in most Japanese recipes: to season meats, in noodle dishes, in salads and much more!
