Ingredients

  • ¾ lb pork shoulder or butt, thinly sliced (1/8 inch)
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin or honey
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  2. 2

    Working in two batches, sear pork slices 90 seconds per side without stirring—edges should look golden and opaque.

  3. 3

    Return all pork to the skillet. Add ginger, soy sauce, and mirin, then toss for 1 minute until the liquid coats the meat.

  4. 4

    Cook for another 30 seconds until the sauce turns glossy and slightly caramelized.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle green onions over the top and slide onto a plate.
