- Combine soy sauce, mirin and grated ginger in a bowl.
- Marinate the pork for 4-5 minutes, making sure both sides of each slice get coated. (I put 1 slice at a time in the bowl, and flip it once so that both sides get coated. )
- Heat some of the vegetable oil or olive oil in a pan. Lay the pork slices out in the pan making sure not to overlap. Sauté for 1 minute to brown, then turn over to cook for half a minute. Repeat the process to cook the remaining pork. Plate and serve with chopped onion and grated ginger on top.
- You can substitute thinly sliced beef or chicken for pork.
- Do not marinate too long. Just a few minutes is enough.
