Steps

1

Coat both sides of the pork slices with potato starch.
2

Heat the oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the onion and sauté until it softens.
3

Once the onion is soft, add the pork and cook over medium heat. (Note: The photo shows the onion removed, but it should stay in the pan.)
4

When the pork changes color, add the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and ginger). Stir to coat, then turn off the heat. Serve on a plate with your choice of sides, such as cucumber or tomato.
