Instructions

1- Prepare the Sauce:

In a small stainless steel mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of mirin, minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp of sake, and 1 tbsp of brown sugar.
Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula.

2- Simmer the Sauce:

Transfer the mixed sauce to a small stainless steel saucepan.
Bring it to a light boil over medium heat, then simmer for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.

3- Brown the Pork:

Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add a small amount of cooking oil from a clear squeeze bottle and coat the pan.
Place the pork slices into the pan and brown them lightly on each side.
Once browned, remove the pork from the pan and set it aside.

4- Thicken the Sauce:

In the same frying pan, pour in the previously prepared sauce.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring continually with a silicone spatula until it becomes glossy and slightly thickened.

5- Finish the Pork:

Return the browned pork slices to the pan with the thickened sauce.
Continue to cook, tossing the pork in the sauce until it caramelizes and adheres to the pork slices.
