Japanese Pork Recipes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless pork top loin roast or boneless pork leg roast, tied to form a uniform shape by kite string
- 1/2 green onion, cut into 2-3 inches long pieces
- 1 inches fresh ginger root, sliced
- 1 cup sake
- 2/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup sugar
Preparation:
Heat a little oil in a large skillet and fry the pork over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Put the meat on paper towels. Put sake, soy sauce, and sugar in a deep pot and bring to a boil on high heat. Stop the heat. Add pork, ginger, and green onion in the pot. Pour enough hot water to cover the meat and bring to a boil again on high heat. Turn down the heat to low and simmer the pork for about one hour or until tender, skimming off any foam and fat that rise to the surface. Stop the heat and cool the pork in the soup for a couple hours. Remove the kite string and slice the meat into about 1/4-inch thick pieces.*makes 4 servings
