Pin Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops (loin, shoulder, or rib) (about 5.3-7 oz/150-200 g each and 0.6-1 inch/1.5-2.5 cm thick)
- 3 Tbsp miso
- ½ Tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ Tbsp sake
Instructions
- Using the tip of a knife, make several small slits at regular intervals in the connective tissue between the lean meat and fat to prevent the pork from curling during cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine miso, sake, mirin, and sugar, and mix well until smooth. Evenly spread the miso marinade over both sides of each piece of pork, then place the pork in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight (8-10 hours) or longer to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Remove the pork from the bag and lightly wipe off any excess miso marinade.
- Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the pork and cook gently over low to medium-low heat for about 4-6 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the pork and the type of pan used), until lightly browned and cooked through, taking care not to let the miso burn.
- Slice the pork into bite-sized pieces and serve on individual plates.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
