💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar with sugar mimics mirin's sweetness and acidity.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium reduces salt intake, while tamari is gluten-free.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

Slice 1/4 of a medium onion into 5 millimeter thick pieces.

Heat a frying pan and add a little vegetable oil, spreading it across the surface.

Add the sliced onion to the frying pan and sauté until it becomes lightly translucent.

Grind about 1 stub of fresh ginger and 1 clove of garlic together in a grinding tool.

In a bowl, mix the ground ginger and garlic with 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1/2 tablespoon of miso until combined.

Prepare 200 grams of pork by cutting it to prevent it from becoming tough during cooking.

Place the pork in the frying pan without preheating it, then turn on the heat to cook the pork gradually.

Once the pork is no longer pink, create space in the pan and add the sautéed onions.

Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and onions, distributing it evenly.

Serve the pork ginger on a plate with shredded cabbage and rice, allowing the rice to soak up some of the sauce.
