Method

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, caster sugar and most of the grated ginger in a bowl, then toss the pork slices in it and marinate for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Lift the pork out, keeping the marinade, and dust the slices lightly with the plain flour.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the pork for 2-3 minutes each side until browned and no pink remains.

  5. 5

    Pour in the reserved marinade and bubble for 1-2 minutes until it thickens into a glaze that coats the pork, stirring in the remaining ginger.

  6. 6

    Serve with the shredded cabbage and the rice.
