Ginger Pork Recipe

Ginger Pork is called “Shogayaki” in Japanese. It means to grill with ginger. It is a standard meal to cook in the home. In Japan you can find shogayaki in a Teishoku-ya (similar to an American diner). The typical way to make Shogayaki is to marinate the pork in the spices before cooking, but a famous TV host named ‘Tamori’ started a trend of not marinating the pork and now many Japanese cook it in this fashion.
