Ingredients
Main Ingredients (1 serving)
- Pork Slices 120g
- Onion 1/4
- Potato Starch 1 tsp
- Broccoli 4 florets
Seasonings
- Sesame Oil (to taste)
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 2 tsp
- [A] Grated Ginger 1 clove
- [B] Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
- [B] White Sesame Seeds 1 tsp
- Pickled Red Ginger (optional, to taste)
Steps
- Cut 4 broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces and place them in a heatproof container.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave.
- Thinly slice 1/4 onion.
- In a bowl, add 120g pork slices, grated ginger from 1 clove, 1 tbsp cooking sake, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp potato starch. Mix well by hand. Coating the pork with potato starch first prevents it from becoming tough and absorbs moisture, making it perfect for bento.
- Heat sesame oil (to taste) in a frying pan and stir-fry the thinly sliced onion until softened.
- Push the onion to the side of the pan and add more sesame oil (to taste).
- Spread the marinated pork in the frying pan, breaking it apart, and cook until browned.
- Fill your bento box with rice.
- Drain the microwaved broccoli.
- Place the broccoli in a bowl and toss with 1 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp white sesame seeds.
- Arrange the cooked ginger pork over the rice. Using the onion as a cushion will keep the pork moist and enhance its sweetness.
- On the side, add the sesame mayo dressed broccoli and, if desired, pickled red ginger (to taste).
