Introduction
A delicious, easy-to-make side dish using only two main ingredients: pork loin and onion. Marinating the meat in mayonnaise ensures the pork loin stays tender and moist rather than dry. The sweet and savory sauce, combined with aromatic sesame seeds and a refreshing splash of vinegar at the end, makes this dish a perfect companion for rice.
Step 1
Pierce the front and back of the pork loin slices with a fork, then cut into 1–1.5cm wide strips.
Step 2
Place the cut pork and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise in a bowl, rub well to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Peel the onion, remove the core, and slice into 1cm-wide strips. Trim the roots off the green onion and slice thinly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves to make the sauce.
Step 5
Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the marinated pork, add 1.5 tablespoons of potato starch, and coat thoroughly until no dry powder remains.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Marinating the pork loin in mayonnaise helps retain moisture, preventing it from drying out and resulting in a tender texture. If you have time, marinating for about 1 hour is even more effective.
💡 Coating the pork with potato starch locks in the juices and umami, while also thickening the sauce to help it cling to the ingredients.
💡 Adding the onions before the pork is fully cooked prevents the meat from becoming tough and ensures the onions retain a nice texture.
💡 Since the acidity of vinegar evaporates if boiled down with the sauce from the beginning, adding it at the very end just before turning off the heat preserves the refreshing flavor.
