Japanese ginger pork is very popular and is fast to make at home.
The pork is quite savory and has a hint of ginger.
I love to jazz up this recipe with many varieties of vegetables.
This time, I'm using tomatoes in my Japanese pork ginger to make it even more flavorful.
When summer is here, I don't really like to eat heavy meals.
With tomatoes and ginger, you can definitely finish the pork ginger in minutes because the overall taste is refreshing.
I sometimes eat this on top of rice and make it into a rice bowl.
Enjoy!

<Miwa’s tips>
・You can swap pork for firm tofu.
・Adjust the taste with salt and pepper if needed.
・I'm using a shabu shabu type cut for my pork. If you are using a thicker one, make sure to cook them longer.
