Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ⅔ lb ground pork
- ½ Tbsp garlic (grated or minced)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Seasonings:
- 4 Tbsp miso
- 2 Tbsp sake
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add sesame oil and garlic to a pan, then turn on the heat. Once the pan starts to warm up, reduce the heat to low and gently sauté the garlic until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork to the pan and break it up with a spatula, mixing it with the garlic. Increase the heat to medium and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked and lightly browned in spots.
- Turn off the heat, then add the seasonings (miso, sake, sugar, and ground black pepper) and mix well. Return the pan to medium heat and cook for about 2 minutes, until most of the liquid from the seasonings has evaporated.
Notes
- You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
