Method
- 1
Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.

- 3
Lift the pork out, keeping the marinade, and dust the slices lightly with the plain flour.
- 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
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.

Serve with the shredded cabbage and the rice.
