Ingredients
- ¾ lb pork shoulder or pork belly, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
- 1
Place the pork slices on a cutting board and, if they are thicker than a dime, lay your hand flat on each slice and carefully slice it lengthwise into thinner pieces, about the thickness of a credit card.
- 2
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger until the sugar dissolves and you have a uniform dark liquid.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and slides easily when you tilt the pan, about 90 seconds.
- 4
Add the pork slices in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown and no longer stick to the pan.
- 5
Stir the pork with a wooden spoon, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks, and cook for another 2 minutes until most pieces are no longer pink inside.
- 6
Pour the soy-sugar sauce over the pork and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats each piece with a glossy, caramelized sheen.
- 7
Divide the cooked rice evenly between two bowls, creating a mound in the center of each bowl.
- 8
Spoon the cooked pork and any sauce remaining in the skillet over the top of each rice mound.
