Even with inexpensive pork slices, if you massage them with sake, sugar, and salt like the Salt Chicken Prep (ID:18949649), the meat stays tender even after chilling.

Recipe Background:
I noticed that shabu-shabu meat sometimes gets tough after chilling, so I tried prepping it the same way I do with chicken breast. It turned out nice and tender.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    [Sauce Preparation]
    1. Peel the daikon radish and grate it. Place the grated daikon in a strainer and press with the back of a spoon to squeeze out excess liquid.

  2. 2

    2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, dashi granules, and water. Microwave at 600W for 40–50 seconds.

  3. 3

    3. Add soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, lemon juice, and the squeezed grated daikon to the bowl from step 2. Mix well.

  4. 4

    [Prepare the Vegetables]
    Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise, then cut into thin slices. Sauté both sides in a frying pan with salad oil. Wash and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    [Prep the Pork] Cut the pork slices into bite-sized pieces. Add sake, sugar, and salt in order, massaging each in well.

  6. 6

    Fill a pot with enough water and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat, then add the pork pieces one at a time, spreading them out.

  7. 7

    When the pork changes color, remove it and place it in a bowl of water. Change the water to cool the pork, then drain in a strainer.

  8. 8

    If you want the pork even colder, chill it in ice water, then drain.

  9. 9

    Arrange the lettuce and eggplant on a serving plate, top with the pork, and pour the sauce over everything.
