Shoga-yaki is simple but is a very popular dish in Japanese cuisine. Shoga means ginger, and yaki means grill or fry. Fresh ginger is an important ingredient as it is often used in Japanese cooking. Common main ingredients in shogayaki are beef or pork. Pork shogayaki is the most popular.

Shogayaki is often put in a lunch box since it still tastes good when it's cold. Of course, it's the best to be served hot. Placing shoga-yaki on top of hot plain rice is a good way to serve. If you serve it on a plate, put thinly chopped cabbage on the side.
