- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. grated ginger

INSTRUCTIONS
- 1
Marinate the pork
Place the pork slices in a zip-top bag. Add miso, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Massage the marinade into the meat and let it sit for 1–2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor; can also be frozen for 1–2 weeks). Knead the bag once or twice during marinating to ensure that the flavor evenly penetrates the pork.

Prepare the vegetables
Coarsely chop the cabbage. Peel and thinly slice the carrot. Remove seeds and chop the bell pepper. Cut the onion into wedges.
- 3
Cook the pork
Remove pork from the marinade and lay in a skillet (no oil needed). Sear over medium-high heat without moving the slices to allow the miso to develop a slight char. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside.

Stir-fry the vegetables
Without wiping the skillet, add 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. Add the onion and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Then add the carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, and bean sprouts, in that order. Stir-fry over medium-high to high heat until the veggies are still crisp, but slightly tender. A little charring on the onion is great!

Finishing Touches
Return the pork to the skillet. Add a dash of sake and a sprinkle of black pepper. Stir everything together over high heat just until heated through and the marinade evenly coats the vegetables.
