MOM's original Pork Miso



I would like to share my Mom's original recipe for Pork Miso. It is easy to cook, and only take 5 minutes to make. My mom always cooked this dish for me when I was a child, so this recipe is special to me. My mom is a great cook and she taught me how to cook many kinds of dishes. 

Pork Miso Recipe:

You need ...
- 4 Tablespoons Awase Miso Paste (I recommend organic miso)
- 1/2 lb Pork (paper thin slices, from any lean part)
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce 
- Vegetable oil (or olive oil)

How to cook...

1. Spread a very thin layer of miso paste on each slice of pork, covering one side completely.

2. Put a large frying pan over mid-high heat add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

3. Carefully lay the miso covered slices of pork in the pan. Do not overlap each piece. You can cook in batches. When you can't see any more raw color, add soy sauce. Flip the pork over and finish cooking on the other side about 30 seconds.

I recommend to serve this with thinly sliced raw cabbage. Serves 2.


Note: This is my first time writing a recipe, so I may need to make changes later. I've cooked this dish using a recipe. Please let me know if something doesn't work for you, or if you have any questions.
