Important Notes
💡 Rubbing sake into the pork first removes any gamey odor and keeps the meat moist and tender.
💡 Since carrots take longer to cook, microwave them in advance to save time.
⚠️ The sauce contains potato starch, which can settle at the bottom; be sure to mix it well again just before pouring it into the pan.
