Remove the skin from 8 cloves of garlic and slice them thinly, then place in a small bowl and set aside.

Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat without adding any oil.

Add the pork ribs to the pan and cook until they are almost cooked through but still pink in some areas.

Add the cabbage to the pan and continue cooking until the cabbage is wilted, being careful not to overcook it to maintain texture.

Add the sliced garlic and all the seasonings: 2 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of sake, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix until the garlic is fragrant and everything is well combined.

Turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, mixing until the butter is melted and incorporated into the dish.

Plate the dish, adding black pepper to taste before serving.
