Grilled pork with ginger (shoga yaki)

Butaniku no shougayaki (豚肉の生姜焼き)

What the kind of dish is Butaniku no shougayaki??

Shogayaki is a Japanese home-cooked dish made by seasoning pork with ginger, soy sauce, and mirin. It’s a flavor that goes well with rice. Shogayaki loved by everyone.It is a menu that is eaten frequently in every household. You can buy at a bento shop also can eat at restaurant.

The cooking method is different for each household, such as marinating the meat in seasonings and grilling it, or coating the grilled meat with sauce.

This time I’m using meat called Komagire. In Japan, meat scrapes are called “Komagire” or “Kiriotoshi”.

Kiriotoshi has only one part of meat, but Komagire has a mixture of various parts such as thigh, shoulder, rib, and arm. I like to use komagire because it contains moderate fat. The size of a slice of Kiriotoshi is larger than that of Komagire, so it is used depending on the dish.

What kind of food is ginger??

It is used not only as a spice but also as an ingredient in sweets and Chinese medicine.

The spicy component of ginger promotes blood circulation, digestion, and has antibacterial effects, while the aromatic component increases appetite and has anti-inflammatory effects.

The medicinal ingredients are contained just under the skin, so it is best to use it without removing the skin. I lightly scrape the surface with a spoon before using.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

I recommend using non-sticky “cooking flour”.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
