Pork Ginger Stir-Fry




Pork Ginger Stir-Fry     豚生姜炒め (Buta Shouga Itame)   


serves 2-3





300g thinly sliced pork


1 piece of fresh ginger


1 carrot


1 onion


1 eggplant


3 piiman (or 1 green capsicum/bell pepper)





3 Tbsp soy sauce


3 Tbsp sake


2 Tbsp sugar


1 Tbsp cornstarch or katakuriko, dissolved in about 100ml water.


vegetable oil


a little sesame oil





1.  Heat about 2 Tbsp oil in a wok or frypan.  Grill the sliced onion, eggplant and bell pepper until the onion is fragrant and the eggplant and bell pepper have a slight grilled look.  Remove and set aside.  Rinse the wok with a little water.


2.  Heat another 2 Tbsp oil in the wok.  Add the pork and turn it just enough to allow the pork to have golden-brown marks.  Add the ginger and carrots, sake, soy sauce and sugar, and cover with a lid until carrots have softened.


3.  Add the grilled vegetables, sesame oil and cornstarch mixture.  Heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens.







 I love buying my fruit and vegetables at the local old style produce markets in Japan.  Aside from the better prices, the selection and quality is excellent.  I was captivated by the aroma and colour of this fresh ginger and determined that it would become the special ingredient in my next dish.





I love the flavour of grilled eggplant and piiman, 


so decided to put all these flavours together.





And came up with this Pork Ginger Stir-Fry.





enjoy ^_^






 How I prepare the Vegetables:


Ginger: matchsticks


Carrot: slice thinly diagonally and then lengthwise in thirds


Piiman: slice lenthwise


Eggplant: quarter lengthwise, then slice into 1 inch pieces


Onion: slice thinly lengthwise



...it's been a while, hasn't it...

Thanks for your patience ^_^  Im back home now so will try to find time for posting more cooking!
