Ingredients

for 3 servings

  • pork 500 g
  • soy sauce 150 ml
  • lemon 1
  • tomato paste or ketchup 2 tbsp
  • ground dried ginger 1 tsp
  • pepper
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1 of 6

Zest the lemon (using a grater or a special knife).

Step 2 of 6

Squeeze the juice from the lemon (approximately 50 ml).

Step 3 of 6

Combine ginger, ketchup, zest, lemon juice, and soy sauce in one container. Add pepper (salt is not required, as soy sauce is salty enough). Mix.

Step 4 of 6

Place the meat in the marinade, having previously cut it into pieces 1–1.5 cm thick. Cover with film and leave in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours.

Step 5 of 6

Fry the meat for 5–7 minutes on each side.

Step 6 of 6

Pour in a little marinade. Simmer under a lid until done (about 10–15 minutes). Readiness can be checked with a knife: if clear liquid flows out, the meat is ready.
