‘Pork Shogayaki’, or Ginger Pork, is one of the most popular Izakaya dishes. It is easy to cook if you have thinly sliced Pork. I used to buy a block of Pork Belly and slice it by hand because thinly sliced any meat was not available where I live. More than 20 years later, it is widely available and this dish can be prepared so easily.
