Pork Stir-Fried with Soy and Ginger

Method

1. 1 Slice the pork belly into thin slices (3 mm thick) and marinate with soy sauce and mirin for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Squeeze out the ginger juice and reserve some of the shredded ginger.
3. 3 Fry the meat slices in a dry pan for 5 minutes until the fat renders out, then drain off the excess fat.
4. 4 Draining excess fat is crucial for a flavorful stir-fry that isn't greasy; keeping all the fat will result in an oily dish.
5. 5 Sauté the onions in the remaining fat for 2 minutes, then add the meat.
6. 6 Pour in the marinade with ginger water and sugar, then simmer for 4 minutes until reduced. Sprinkle with shredded ginger and chopped scallions.
