How to fix pork ginger.

Filed under: Japanese foodsPork ginger is one of the most common home cooking recipes in Japan.
It doesn’t take time and is very easy.
To be honest, I am not someone who strictly measures ingredients when I cook meals like home-cooking recipes. That’s why I am so bad at giving instructions how many table spoon of bla bla bla…
Pork ginger is a good sample. I never measure with table spoons. Always my eyes measure but I never screw it up. :p
Maybe I am not qualified for cooking tutorials…^_^; sorry for that.
But I hope you enjoy the video I made.
Do you have any request for the next video? Are you also interested in Japanese lessons by a native Japanese speaker? (it’s me! :p )
PS. I forgot to add this photo!

Thank you , Kirin, that was awesome ^_^ ! My cooking blogs with still pictures look so lame in comparison.:(
You explain it so well and make it look so simple. I'd just finished eating dinner and now you've made me hungry again. I almost rushed out to the shop to get pork, but it will have to wait till later.
What do you serve with it ? Just steamed rice ?
I can't wait till you post the next one.

Thank You for producing this video, I love pork ginger and can eat so much of it LOL!
Japanese lessons would be great, or even more cooking video's (I measure by the eye as well)

That was interesting, thanks
I also don't measure when I cook, so it doesn't bother me, haha..

That was great!
I love learning new recipes. What would you serve with pork ginger? Do you add cooked vegetables? Or a salad?

Thank you for your comment, which was very interesting.
Your cooking blogposts give us a lot more info. than mine with step by step photos and details and I think that's great! I am a rough cook, that's why I try to rely on movie, to make up for my rough explanation, this is the truth behind the story! hahaha!!
I forgot to add the final photo when I updated the post, so I added it today. I should have served one more dish. This meal looks too light for men to eat. ^_^; hehehe…

Oh good you measure by eyes, too. :p I'm sorry I am so bad at how many tbs instructions, which made me refrain from cooking videos so far. But on second thought, video may be OK because it can easily transmit the image of cooking. So I can do videos better than posts when it comes to cooking… B)

Your cooking blog has nice photos, with good instructions.
Thanks for being here, Andrea.

I like to have it with salad or coleslaw. I added a photo, but I should have made miso soup and one more dish to make the dinner look gorgeous. :p

Though it's Australian style because it's all in one bowl hahah.
It was yummy, thank you!

I'm so much impressed to hear that! You did it right away! One bowl style looks good, too.

Hi Kirin I make a similar dish but use tofu instead of pork since I am a vegetarian. It tastes so good. I love your cooking videos – I love to see Japanese cooking. I just watched a terrific Japanese TV show called Osen that was all about traditional Japanese cooking. It made me so hungry for Japanese food I've been eating it constantly. Along with kawaii things, I am totally obsessed with Japanese food and cooking.
I would love to see a video of you making miso soup. Do you eat that for breakfast? I saw in a movie called Train Man that a lot of Japanese people have miso soup and toast for breakfast. I usually have a pop-tart or bowl of rice crispies (cereal) myself.
And yes I'd love to have Japanese language videos – maybe stuff on how to get around in Tokyo?
Enjoy your trip to Sydney – you deserve a break – buy lots of kawaii goodies if you can and take photos! You rock!

fast & easy!! looks tasty, i'm gonna try it :}
there is a similar chinese dish but they throw in the ginger slices and green spring onions (cooked with either pork, chicken or frog legs lol)….i love the dish but always found that the ginger pieces tasted too strong. Will try with just the juice this time! Thanks
post more food vids!!

Hey, I recognise the small bottle of kikkoman soya sauce (€ 1,99 here) ! Is it just as expensive there ? I hv just switched to the 1-liter bottle (€ 5,29) n hubby thought it was far too expensive *sigh*
Meat here r tasteless, sad to say. Every portion needs seasoning of soya sauce, white pepper, salt, vetsin n sesame oil. In doing so, it's a costly dish but I hv no other alternatives.
Last night we had a pork chop stew in fermented soya beans. My hubby loves it … so I teased him abt being a soya bean merchant in his last life – haha. Right from the beginning, he was very fond of chinese dishes, even those that r too strange for a foreigner. My family also wondered if he was a china man reincarnated into a dutch – haha.
Oh, dont worry abt the simple presentation. At home here, I usually make just 1 dish (meat n veggies together) in a small wok n placed that on the table (yes, u must be horrified !). I copied this idea from my late MIL. It seems lots of family does that – pots n pans of food going straight onto the dining table ! Bon appetit nevertheless

Good English!
And I agree with the previous comments on how you made it look so simple ^^ I don't really cook, so measurements help 
I'll watch again next time when i have to cook for myself

Did you try it? It's easy and good!

I wonder if we have miso soup and toast together. It's a little bit weird combination. :S If we have miso soup, we'd take steamed rice and Natto ( http://tokyokawaiietc.com/japanese-foods/natto-so… ) or broiled fish with Japanese pickles (vegetables) and so on. But Japanese people nowadays tend to have cereal or simple Western way of meal such as continental breakfast, in the morning, rather than traditional Japanese styles.
I'll think of miso soup. Thanks for your opinion!

I think many Japanese recipes are originally from Chinese. I love Chinese foods a lot, but I am just lazy not enough to inspire myself to do that by myself. :p
If I feel like tasting more of the ginger, I add some grated one in addition to the juice.
Thank you for your opinion, I learned you are interested in cooking and food videos.

Kikkoman is a Japanese company. Soy sauce is not expensive in Japan. One liter bottle costs under 300 yen, I guess? (around 2 euro, maybe). I have a liter bottle but I like to use a small one anytime. Big bottle has a big mouth, and sometimes too much of soy sauce comes out at a time and I could ruin my dish. When the small one loses the rest of soy sauce, I pour more soy sauce from a 1-liter bottle to the small container. That's how I do.
Your husband is lucky because you are good at cooking!

Thank you for your comment, which I found from spam folder, somehow. :S ?? I don't know why, but some comments are sorted out as spam automatically, even yours does not look like so…
I should have mentioned how many grams of pork, because sliced pork may come with different size or thickness.
Cooking video is difficult, but I hope I can keep making ones you like.
