Introduction
This is a delicious, rice-friendly dish that uses plenty of sliced pork and three types of mushrooms, packed with a punch of garlic. The pork is coated in potato starch for a juicy finish, and the mushrooms are seared well to concentrate their umami flavor.
Step 1
Massage sake (1 tbsp) into the pork to season it, helping to tenderize the meat and remove any unpleasant odor.
Step 2
Trim the roots of the shimeji and maitake mushrooms and tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand. Cut the eryngii mushrooms in half lengthwise and then into thin diagonal slices.
Step 3
Remove the garlic sprouts, slice one clove, and mince the other clove.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake (1 tbsp), oyster sauce, and sugar, and mix well to prepare the sauce.
Step 5
Add potato starch (2 tsp) to the sake-marinated pork and coat it evenly.

Important Notes
Rubbing sake into the pork and coating it with potato starch removes any gaminess, locks in moisture, and ensures a tender finish. ✨
If you continue to stir-fry the pork with the mushrooms, it will become tough, so the key is to remove it once it is 80-90% cooked. ⚠️
After coating the mushrooms with oil, let them sit without moving them too much to allow excess moisture to evaporate, concentrating their aroma and umami. 🍳
By adding garlic in two ways—sliced (for chips) and minced (for aroma)—you can enjoy both the texture and the fragrant flavor. 💡
